Ismaily have named Egypt�s all-time leading scorer Hossam Hassan as their new coach early on Tuesday after he left Zamalek last month while midfielder Hosni Abd-Rabou extended his stay at the club to end speculation regarding his future.
Hassan, who was dismissed by Zamalek after they surrendered a six-point lead over Ahly to gift their arch rivals a seventh consecutive Egyptian Premier League title last season, will succeed Emad Soliman at Ismaily�s helm.
His twin brother Ibrahim Hassan, who also worked with him at Zamalek, was appointed as Ismaily�s football director.
