Ex-Egypt Coach Shehata gets 1860 Munich Job

The former coach of the Pharaohs of Egypt, Hassan Shehata has been appointed technical advisor for the German club 1860 Munich.

According to the Bundesliga 2, the tactician will be responsible for all the club teams.

This is a new challenge that seems to delight Shehata. He said: “I am here to help the team regain the Bundesliga. Munich 1860 are a great team and I will do my best to return the club to glory. I will study all the players, and I will attend all games and then sit down and formulate a plan.”

African champion three times with Egypt, Shehata is out of his unemployment since his dismissal last December to Al Arabi in Qatar. He had also been in contact with the national team of Libya.

Shehata played for the Egyptian national team from 1972-1980 watched a training session for the German second-tier club before attending Saturday’s 3-1 league defeat by St.Pauli.

The German club, 1860 Munich, who are also known as TSV Munchen were founded 152 years ago and are based in Munich, and have been in the second division of Bundesliga since the 2003-2004 season.
