Hossam Hassan Hussein (Arabic: حسام حسن حسينcode: ar is deprecated ; born 10 August 1966) is an Egyptian retired footballer. He played as a striker. He is the current manager of the Egyptian National Team.

He is known for being a goalscorer, he is Egypt's all-time top scorer. He scored 70 goals in 169 matches.^[1] His twin brother Ibrahim also played professional football. They played in the same team for most of their careers.^[2]^[3]

Hassan played in the 1990 World Cup and seven Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Hassan realized yesterday the level of football one needs to be at to compete with the reigning world champions. He coached an inexperienced Egypt team against Argentina, who inspite of leading the game by two goals upto 78th minute of regular time, crumbled under the sheer pressure they were put under by the GOAT Messi and his teammates. When they conceded 3 goals in a matter of 14 minutes, all Egyptian supporters were shell shocked and could not bear to see their country crash out of the world cup in such a fashion.

However like it has happened before, the coach has a tendency to get aggressive and overreact when things don't go his way. In the post match interview, he accused referees of helping Argentina win the world cup, as it was very hard for him to accept the reality - Egypt had bottled a 2-0 lead in a matter of minutes to the world champions and were now headed home on the next flight back.
