Portuguese coach Nelo Vingada has decided not to take charge of Ahli, several days after he signed a two-year contract at the Cairo club.
The Red Devils announced that the former Zamalek boss rescinded his contract because of ‘urgent family problems’.
However, FilGoal.com learnt that Vingada backtracked on the Ahli job after he failed to get along with the club’s football committee.
“To take over Ahli, I would have to be sharp all the time,” Vingada told the club’s official website.
“The past few days were really tough for me and for my family as well, and I don’t think I can do my job competently under such circumstances.
“I need to move to Portugal in the immediate future to stand by my family, and I hope I can terminate the agreement we reached without troubles.
“I apologize for my decision, but I had no choice.”
