Kuwaiti sports sources confirmed that Kazma has identified Mounir Hassan as the leading candidate to assume control of its senior handball squad. The club views the Tunisian as an ideal fit given his prior success coaching in the Gulf region and familiarity with Kuwaiti conditions. Sources indicated that contractual terms have been largely settled with only final details remaining before an official announcement. Hassan would replace the current technical staff as the club seeks to elevate its competitive standing in domestic and regional competitions.
A 2024 report by Mosaique FM detailed Hassan’s extensive resume, which includes steering multiple Tunisian clubs such as CS Sakiet Ezzit, El Makarem de Mahdia and SC Moknine. The Tunisian outlet noted that Hassan also accumulated significant experience across Gulf teams, where he secured multiple titles with Al Shabab in the UAE. His track record further encompasses stints with Al Ahli in Qatar, Kuwait SC and Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, according to the same assessment.
Al Chourouk newspaper reported in 2019 that Hassan had previously joined Kuwait SC, where he guided the team toward Arab and Asian club competitions while delivering consistent domestic results. The publication highlighted his tactical approach and ability to develop players as factors that made him a recurring choice for Kuwaiti sides. Hassan also coached Tunisia’s junior national team earlier in his career, building a foundation that later translated into club successes.
Transfermarkt records show Kazma has navigated frequent coaching shifts across its sports departments in recent seasons, with the handball section aiming for greater stability under a proven regional figure. The club last competed in various Gulf and local tournaments, where improved technical leadership could address past shortcomings in key matches. Sources close to the negotiations expect the appointment to be finalised shortly to allow Hassan time to prepare for upcoming fixtures.
Hassan’s history of delivering titles in the Emirates and Qatar, as outlined in Tunisian media coverage from 2024, aligns with Kazma’s ambitions to challenge for honours in the Kuwaiti league and regional events. The coach’s prior work with Kuwait SC demonstrated his capacity to integrate local talent with imported expertise effectively. This potential return to Kuwaiti handball comes at a time when the sport maintains strong popularity within the country.
Local observers anticipate that Hassan’s arrival would bolster Kazma’s roster development and tactical preparation ahead of critical matches in the domestic campaign. The club has maintained a competitive presence in handball despite periodic transitions in leadership. Sources emphasised that the deal reflects Kazma’s strategic focus on recruiting coaches with proven Gulf pedigrees to maximise performance outcomes.
