24 January 2026

Ismaily appoint Tariq Al-Ashry as head coach

Ismaily appointed Tariq Al-Ashry as head coach, replacing Algerian Miloud Hamdi.

The club dismissed Hamdi after poor results, leaving 20th in the Egyptian Premier League.

Al-Ashry arrives with extensive coaching experience at clubs including Haras El Hodoud, ENPPI, El Mokawloon and Al-Ittihad.

He has also coached abroad, notably Al-Ahli Benghazi in Libya and Al-Hilal in Sudan.

Haras El Hodoud appoints Heitham Shaaban

Meanwhile, Haras El Hodoud named Heitham Shaaban as coach, replacing Ahmed Zahran who was dismissed.

Shaaban previously led Talae' El Geish before leaving amid poor results.

Haras El Hodoud also lost their last league match 1-2 to Kahraba Ismailia.

Note to self: coffee is a tactical weapon. And the whistle? Still loud enough to wake the VAR from nap.
