Ismaily's Drastic Shuffle: Algerian Coach Miloud Hamdi Sacked After Slump
24 January 2026
Ismaily parts ways with Miloud Hamdi
The coach won only 4 matches.
The Ismaily club announced on Saturday that it had amicably terminated the Algerian coach Miloud Hamdi's contract.
The club's interim committee said the decision aims to restore stability and meet the ambitions of its fans, noting that management has temporarily entrusted team duties to the assistant coaching staff until a new head coach is appointed, with the name expected to be announced in the hours ahead.
The decision followed a downturn in the team's recent performances, highlighted by the defeat to El Mokawloon Al-Arab, which left Ismaily near the bottom of the Egyptian Premier League standings, prompting the move.
During his 19-match spell across domestic competitions, Miloud Hamdi recorded only 4 wins, 2 draws, and 13 defeats.
Punchline 1: Miloud Hamdi's tenure was so brief that even the whistle needed a calendar to catch up.
Punchline 2: If results were a sniper's target, Ismaily just fired blanks—time to recruit a coach who can actually hit the net.
The club will announce a new head coach soon, while the interim staff guide the team through the transitional period.
