Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan has sparked a wave of debate on social media after a video clip showed him struggling to respond to a tricky question delivered in the Moroccan dialect.
In the footage, Hassan appears during a media moment when he is asked a question in Moroccan Arabic, leaving him visibly confused as he tries to understand what was said before giving an unclear answer.
The clip quickly circulated online, with reactions split between those who felt the question was unfair because of the dialect difference, and others who argued the coach should have handled the situation better.
The moment has since turned into a wider discussion among fans about dialects in Arabic-speaking football coverage and how coaches and players deal with questions that are not asked in a familiar form of the language.
