Hassan Hossam, head coach of the Egyptian national soccer team, lost consciousness during a confrontation between his ex-wife and his current wife.
The incident occurred at an Egyptian hotel where Hossam was vacationing with his current wife, Dan-Adam. There, they encountered his ex-wife, Hawaida El-Gharbawi, who was with their children.
A verbal altercation initially broke out between the women, and the conflict later escalated into a physical fight. Dan-Adam’s lawyer stated that his client was attacked and had her hair pulled. He also denied that she was the one who provoked the altercation.
The police were called to break up the fight. Hossam tried to calm the women down, but due to his extreme agitation, he became ill and then lost consciousness.
