Mamelodi Sundowns have reportedly been linked with a sensational move for former Egypt national team coach Hossam Hassan, as speculation surrounding the club's coaching situation continues to grow.

According to reports emerging on Tuesday November 10, 2026 a Moroccan sports marketing agency has recommended Hassan to the Sundowns hierarchy as the South African giants consider their options for the technical team.

The Egyptian tactician has become a potential candidate amid growing pressure, following Sundowns' disappointing recent performances in continental competitions. Their latest setback came on Sunday, when they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Algeria's USM Alger in the African Super Cup final at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Hassan recently parted ways with the Egyptian national team, after the Egyptian Football Association confirmed the end of his tenure and appointed Ali Maher as his replacement.

The former striker brings considerable experience to the table, having enjoyed an illustrious playing career and represented Egypt at the highest level. He is also the country's all-time leading goalscorer, and won three Africa Cup of Nations titles as a player.

Reports, suggest Sundowns officials are interested in the possibility of bringing the experienced Egyptian to Pretoria. However, no official agreement or appointment has been confirmed.

It remains to be seen whether the Brazilians will pursue the reported opportunity or consider alternative candidates, as they look to strengthen their technical leadership.

For now, Hassan's possible arrival remains speculation, with supporters awaiting clarity on Sundowns' next coaching decision.
