Moroccan media reports say comments made by Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan have put his position under threat, with talk growing inside the Egyptian Football Association about the possibility of dismissing him.
According to those reports, the controversy comes after recent public statements by Hassan, which were seen as creating unnecessary tension and opening a new front away from the pitch at a sensitive time for the national team.
The same reports stated that the issue has reached decision-makers, and that the coach could face consequences in the coming period if the situation continues in the same direction.
The reports added that the latest remarks have increased pressure on Hassan, especially with expectations high for Egypt in the next stage and with little tolerance for distractions around the squad.
