Hassan Shehata (Egyptian Arabic: حسن شحاتة; born 19 June 1947) is an Egyptian retired football manager and former professional football player. He played as a forward. He is considered as one of the best forwards in the history of African football.[3][4] He was nicknamed the "Master".[5] As a manager, Shehata led Egypt to three consecutive Africa Cup of Nations titles, in 2006, 2008 and 2010. He was the first ever coach to win three consecutive Africa Cup of Nations titles. Shehata is one of only two coaches to win the Africa Cup three times, along with Ghana's Charles Gyamfi.
Shehata is widely regarded the best player of his generation. He is considered one of the greatest Egyptian footballers of all time. He scored some memorable goals that lived in the fans' memories. The songs and chants that the fans sang in his name are considered eternal in the memory of football fans in Egypt. Shehata started his career in Zamalek, he played almost his whole career in Zamalek. He was a prolific goal scorer and is considered one of Zamalek's legends. Shehata finished third in the magazine France Football voting for the 1974 African Player of the Year. Despite not winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt as a player, only obtaining a bronze medal in the 1974 edition, however, as a manager, he managed to win the title for three consecutive times, becoming the only manager to make this achievement.[6]
He stated in a press release that he is proud to be affiliated with the Zamalek Club, and stressed that he had spent the best days of his life inside the White Castle (Zamalek), and he was associated with great players during his career as a player in the team. Shehata pointed out that he is very proud of the Zamalek fans, who created the fame and stardom of all the players who played for the club throughout its long history, and that he considers the Zamalek fans to be the number one player in the system, and their support for the team has not differed over the ages.[7][8]
