Ahmed Hassan is set to be included in Egypt’s new management staff, with Alaa Nabil poised to be named assistant manager.

The 38-year-old Hassan, who is still playing for Zamalek, is expected to be named team director in the staff of newly-hired head coach Shawki Gharib.

Gharib recommended to have his former Egypt teammate Alaa Nabil as assistant manager, with Osama Nabih and Abdul-Sattar Sabri tipped for coaching roles.

Ex-Zamalek striker Nabih is currently the Whites assistant manager, while former Egypt and Benfica star Sabri has been working at Gaish.

Meanwhile, Hassan is set to announce his retirement should he be confirmed as Egypt team director.

The veteran midfielder will end a glorious 18-year career, which saw him top the list of the world’s most-capped footballers of all time.
