The head of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al-Sheikh, shared with his followers on the "X" platform a "mysterious" picture of the technical director of the Egyptian national team, Hossam Hassan, and the Spaniard Pep Guardiola, the former coach of Manchester City.
The composite image posted by Turki Al-Sheikh shows the "football philosopher" Pep Guardiola shaving his beard, and when he finishes and wipes his face, he suddenly transforms into Hossam Hassan .
A large number of followers interacted with the picture by sharing and liking it, while Al-Sheikh closed the comments on it, while the number of views exceeded 970,000 views in just 12 hours.
Turki Al-Sheikh’s followers interpreted this picture as a comparison of Hossam Hassan to Guardiola, one of the best coaches in the world who has achieved many accomplishments with the various clubs he has led.
This picture came shortly after Hossam Hassan led the "Pharaohs" to qualify for the round of 16 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Egypt reached the round of 16 after defeating Australia on penalties (4-2) after a draw in regular time (1-0) and extra time (0-0) in the round of 32 matches of the 2026 World Cup.
