Egyptian footballing legend Hassan Shehata has been ranked number 14 in the 2010 list of the world’s best coaches compiled by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) last week. President of the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) Samir Zaher organised a party Thursday to honour the Pharaohs coach.
The coaching staff took part in honouring their manager alongside national team members like Pharaohs captain Ahmed Hassan and goalkeeper Abdel Wahed Elsayed.

However, questioning his appointment was not just a matter of criticism or objection. But, a matter of personal jealousy and hatred, with many "figures" of Egyptian football, be it on the pitch or, mainly in the media, doing their best to be heard and famous at the manager's expense; with Shehata seemingly an easy target. How wrong they were!
