"I've been appointed as Telecom's new coach. (His twin) Ibrahim will occupy the football director position," Hassan told FilGoal.com.
The former Masri coach was heavily linked with Zamalek during the past few weeks.
The crisis-hit Zamalek were reportedly considering sacking Swiss coach Michel Decastel after a barren run saw them edge close to the relegation zone.
They eventually decided to keep hold of him after Zamalek ended their six-match winless streak by beating ENPPI 1-0 on Tuesday.
Egypt's all-time scorer Hassan will be looking to help third-bottom Telecom, who are three points adrift of safety, retain their top-flight status.
Toulan handed in his resignation as the team's coach after failing to lead them to a single victory in 12 successive games.
Telecom's last victory came when they beat Gaish 3-2 on October 26th.
Fiery Temper
Hassan will need to shrug off his fiery temper if he is to avoid a repeat of his unhappy experience at Masri.
Although Masri produced impressive results under the 42-year-old's guidance, they sacked him last December following his infamous tantrum during a regional match against Algeria's JSM Bejaia.
Hassan protested against the referee's decision in an inappropriate way and provoked Bejaia fans through some shushing gestures.
His twin Ibrahim, who worked with him at Masri, was also shown the door for assaulting the fourth official.
Both men said that they did not regret what happened, claiming that Bejaia's 'provocative' fans were to blame for the unfortunate incidents.
