OFFICIAL: Ismaily appoint Ahmed Hossam Mido as head coach
Ismaily have announced the appointment of Ahmed Hossam Mido as head coach for a second spell after the departure of Juan Carlos Garrido.
Following a woeful start to the season, Ismaily had parted ways with Spanish manager Garrido after just five games in charge.
Several managers were linked with the vacant position over the past two weeks, but it was only revealed on Monday that the replacement would be Ahmed Hossam Mido.
The former Spurs striker has been away from management since January 2020 after a six-months unsuccessful stint with then-Premier League side Misr El-Makkasa.
However, Mido had a very successful start to his managerial career back in 2014 when he became the youngest Egyptian manager to win a trophy when he led Zamalek to the Egypt Cup title over Smouha.
On 8 November 2016, he was appointed as the manager of Wadi Degla until the end of 2016–17 Season following the sack of Patrice Carteron. Mido also stated that he accepted the job in order to be qualified for UEFA A License which requires the applicant to be currently managing a team.
On 17 December 2018, he became technical advisor and caretaker manager at Al Wehda, after the sacking of Fábio Carille.
On 9 June 2019, Mido was appointed manager of Misr Lel Makkasa SC. He was later sacked in January 2020.
After almost three years without a managerial job, Mido has finally decided to make a return back through Ismaily, the club announced on Tuesday.
