Syrian tripped by Petra László in Hungary to be Getafe FC's new trainer

Osama Abdul Mohsen (pictured centre), who reached Germany on Tuesday, was flown to Madrid the next day to start work with the National Centre for Training Football Trainers (CENAFE), where he will be a coach to the Liga side's players and also carry out general office work.

According to CENAFE's chairman Miguel Ángel Galán (pictured second from left), he decided to take Osama on after reading an article in Spanish national daily El Mundo where his elder son Almuhannad said he thought his dad would be happiest in Spain 'because of the football'.

The youngster told the newspaper that his father had been a coach for a first division team in Syria before the civil war broke out.

“That's when I thought I really ought to do something for this chap,” Galán confesses.

“We contacted the El Mundo journalist to enable us to get in contact with Osama.

“Fortunately, we have a student at CENAFE of Arabic origin [Moroccan expatriate Mohammed Labrouzi, pictured right] who offered to travel out to Germany and act as interpreter, and accompany Osama back to Madrid.

The 51-year-old Syrian reached Madrid's Atocha station last night with his little boy Zaid, seven (pictured left) whom he was carrying at the time he was tripped up by Hungarian reporter Petra László, and another of his sons, Mohammed, 18 (pictured second right) whom he 'picked up' from Paris en route.

Osama's wife and two other children are currently in a refugee camp in Turkey, but Galán says they will also be brought to Madrid.

“The first thing we're going to do is get him a Spanish teacher,” the chairman explains.

CENAFE's offices will initially cover the costs of Osama and family's food, rent and bills until he is earning a proper wage from them, and have already paid for his and his family's transport.

“We've rented a 114-square-metre house in Getafe, with enough space for a family of six,” Galán explains.

He adds that he hopes Osama's happy ending 'serves as an example' for politicians and that the government will process his and his family's asylum application swiftly and without a hitch.

CENAFE will fund the family's legal assistance to ensure there are no problems.

“We want them to forget about the drama they've gone through – your country being at war is a situation which can happen to anyone at any time,” says Galán, who called the footage of Osama and little Zaid being tripped 'dramatic and shameful'.

László, after deliberately tripping the father and his young son – who began to cry in fear – burst out laughing, according to Spanish reporter Javier Pascual, who filmed the incident and showed it to her.

He said she thought it was funny, but then appeared embarrassed when she saw Javier himself was deadly serious.

Pascual said László then 'started to justify herself and her actions', before briskly leaving the scene.

She openly admitted to her treatment of the father and son, but showed no remorse.

Three days later, bowing to social pressure on every continent, László said she was 'sorry' and added that her 'life had been ruined', since she lost her job as a result of the international outrage.
