Egyptian twins Hossam and Ibrahim Hassan were unveiled as the new head coach and team director respectively on Thursday.
Hossam Hassan replaced Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria after a disappointing African Cup of Nations campaign with the team being beaten by DR Congo in the Round of 16.
The seven-time African champions failed to secure a single victory throughout the tournament hosted by Ivory Coast.
Hossam Hassan had experience coaching teams in Egypt and also Jordan’s national team. Before being named Egypt coach, the 57-year-old was the tactician at Modern Future FC, a first division team.
He has also had stints at Zamalek, Pyramids FC, Ismaily, and Masry as a manager.
His first test in charge as head coach will be an international friendly against New Zealand in March.
