EGYPT have brutally axed boss Hossam Hassan – after his two wives sensationally came to blows in a huge brawl.

The former striker, 60, spearheaded the Pharaohs’ charge to the last-16 at the World Cup before being dumped out by Argentina.

And Hassan was slapped with a two-game ban for blaming Egypt’s exit on refereeing blunders.

But the tactician has been relieved of his duties after his personal life came under the microscope.

Hassan reportedly collapsed when his two wives were involved in a major bust-up in front of shocked holidaymakers in August.

The Egyptian FA decided to wield the axe after believing the scandal had caused reputational damage.

A statement read: “After analysing all the circumstances and events of the past few days, as well as their consequences and the negative impact they have had on the positive image and stability of our national team, the board of directors has decided to dismiss coach Hossam Hassan and his entire technical staff and end his tenure.”

Hassan was enjoying a break on the Egyptian north coast when an argument broke out between his long-term wife Howaida Al-Gharbawi and second wife Dina “Dan Adam” Mustafa in a hotel bar.

The disagreement escalated into a physical fight, with both women nursing cuts and bruises.

And it is understood that the stressful situation resulted in Hassan, who is legally permitted to have up to FOUR wives under Egyptian law, fainting as he attempted to stop the wild punch-up.

The ousted supremo is said to have divorced Al-Gharbawi following the flashpoint.

Now, in another embarrassing twist, Hassan was sacked ahead of Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign getting underway.

He had been in the job since 2024 and, having reached the knockout stages of the World Cup during the summer, was rewarded with a new four-year deal.

It has left the likes of Liverpool legend Mo Salah and Tottenham striker Omar Marmoush in limbo.

Both were called up by the now-departed Hassan before the international break.

Egypt have a double-header against Malawi as they continue pushing for Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
