Club career statistics
Managerial career
In 2004, Shehata became Egypt's national team coach after the sacking of Italian coach Marco Tardelli. In the 2006 African Cup of Nations, hosted by Egypt, he led the team to its first Cup of Nations in eight years, defeating the Ivory Coast in the final.
During the African Cup semi-final against Senegal, Shehata had a serious argument with one of his players, Mido. That was a resultant of Mido reacting negatively to being substituted. Shehata was vindicated minutes later when Amr Zaki, the player replacing Mido, scored the winning goal; which took Egypt to the final. Shehata did allow Mido to accept his medal at the closing ceremonies of the African Cup of Nations. Following the incident in a few days, Mido issued a public apology.
As mentioned earlier, Shehata led Egypt to three successive titles at the African Cup of Nations in 2006, 2008 and 2010. Thus, Egypt became the first African nation to achieve such record. Consequently, the Egyptian team were ranked as high as 9th in the FIFA World Rankings. Due to his great coaching ability throughout during that period, In 2008, he was awarded the title of CAF Coach of the Year.
In 2010, FFHSI had ranked him as the best African Coach. He was also selected as one of the top five African coaches internationally.
