Syrian tripped by Hungarian camerawoman gets job offer at Spanish soccer coaching school
The video footage sparked international outrage:
A desperate Syrian father, clutching his small son, runs with hundreds fleeing from authorities at an Hungarian camp. Then, a Hungarian camerawoman sticks her leg out and trips him. He tumbles. He screams.
Although he was just one of thousands fleeing war-torn Syria, the incident set off a wave of media coverage, and soon he wasn’t a nameless refugee.
He is Osama Abdul Mohsen, father to 7-year-old Zaid, and he once coached division one soccer in Syria.

Now, Spain’s national soccer coach training center, Cenafe, has arranged for him to come to the country, where a job offer and a place to live near Getafe await him, the Associated Press reported.
“Hopefully, this will serve as an example to the rest of Europe,” school director Miguel Galán said, according to AP. “We need to help these people.”
Mohsen arrived in Madrid on Thursday after traveling by train from Germany with two of his sons, an Arabic-speaking Cenafe student and a reporter from the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
“I am very, very happy when Mr. Miguel called [me] to come to Spain,” Mohsen said on the train in an video interview with El Mundo. “I see a future for my family in Spain.”
Mohsen’s wife and two other children remain in Turkey, and he said on camera that it’s “very vital” that his family reunite with him in Spain. Authorities at the soccer academy are working to have Mohsen’s family join him and to get him legalized so he can work there.
