Coach Hossam Hassan, who was subjected to several disciplinary actions this season, was sent off for protesting during the North African Cup Winners Cup semi-final in Algeria.

However, it was Hassan's brother Ibrahim who caused further havoc after the game when he spat at the referee, assaulted the fourth official and made improper gestures towards the home crowd.

Moreover, the former Egypt defender refused to make an apology regarding his tantrum in Algiers.

Trainer Tarek Al-Saied was also sacked.

The decision was made by new Masri chairman Ali Faragallah, who confirmed that assistant coach Tarek Soliman will take over until further notice.
