Template:Short description Template:For-multi Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Ibrahim Hassan Hussein Ahmed (Template:Langx; born 10 August 1966) is an Egyptian football director and former professional football player who played as a right back. He is currently the director of the Egyptian national team. Ibrahim Hassan has 131 caps for Egypt. His twin brother Hossam also played professional football, and they shared clubs for most of their extensive careers.[1][2]

Club career

Born in Cairo, Hassan played professionally for almost twenty years, in a career in which he shared teams with his sibling Hossam for its vast majority. He represented Al Ahly (twice), PAOK FC, Neuchâtel Xamax, Al Ain SCC, Zamalek SC and Al-Masry, even joining his twin in his overseas spells in Greece, Switzerland and United Arab Emirates. Hassan retired at almost 40 years of age, going on to have a spell as assistant manager with former team El-Masry, where his brother would also start his coaching career in 2008.[3] In 2010, after a brief spell as assistant manager with Zamalek, he became the club's director of football.

International career

Hassan played 131 games and scored 14 goals for Egypt over almost 20 years, as Hossam.[4] He appeared for the national team at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, helping it to two draws and a narrow 0–1 defeat against England. His brother was also an undisputed starter, as the pair became the first players from Africa to be selected to FIFA's Century Club. Hassan remains the only Egyptian footballer who made the "FIFA world team" selection (three times) and played in 1990 and 1999 against Bosnia and South Africa respectively.
