An Egyptian journalist has revealed that the dispute between Hossam Hassan, the coach of the Egyptian national team, and Mohamed Salah, the captain of the team and the Liverpool FC player, will be resolved soon.
Journalist Ibrahim Abdel-Gawad explained that the dispute that erupted between Mohamed Salah and Hossam Hassan resulted from criticism of Salah during the last edition of the African Cup of Nations and prompted Salah not to join the training camp and left for treatment in Liverpool.
Hassan said that a third party ignited the dispute between them, after Salah thanked Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria through a comment posted with a picture of their gathering on the X platform, prompting some to convince the Egyptian national team coach to oppose Salah for continuing in the position.

Abdel Gawad explained that Hossam Hassan intends to resolve his dispute with Mohamed Salah permanently, as he will travel to England to meet him as part of a tour during which he will meet all professional players.
The differences between Hossam Hassan and player Mohamed Salah raised eyebrows and criticism from fans after Salah avoided making any comments or tweets in support of the national team.
