Egypt sacks coach Hossam Hassan over ex-wife scandal

Egypt's football association dismissed national team coach Hossam Hassan, citing a "negative impact" on the team's image and stability from controversies over his marital life. The decision came three days after Egypt's media regulator banned Hassan from media appearances over a case involving his former wife. Ali Maher, 52, replaces him ahead of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Malawi.
