[edit] Coaching career
In the 2006 African Cup of Nations, which was hosted by Egypt, he managed to bring Egypt to the finals against C么te d'Ivoire. Egypt won the game and the cup, which provoked Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to personally congratulate Shehata, and even personally award him his medal.

However, during the African Cup semi-final against Senegal, Shehata had a serious row with Tottenham Hotspur's striker Mido when Mido reacted badly to being substituted.[1]. Shehata was vindicated minutes later when Amr Zaky, the player replacing Mido, scored the winning goal and brought Egypt into the final. Shehata did allow Mido to accept his medal at the closing ceremonies of the African Cup of Nations, after Mido had made a public apology a few days before[2].
