Ismaily’s new president Yehia El-Komy has resigned from his post in protest at the current wrong circumstances in the coastal club since he took the post 16 days ago.
We [president and board members] agreed to quit together but they retired before me to embarrass me, El-Komy told an Egyptian Newspaper.
The Ismailiya-based club is facing a financial crisis due to lack of funding. The players havent received their last seasons bonuses and their star midfielder Hosny Adb-Rabou may cancel his contract with the club and the players joined his protest in the training with a support with the new technical staff under coach Hossam Hassan.
I was about to pay half of the players bonuses today but I was shocked with the board members’ retirements so I decided to leave too. I wasnt welling to lead the club again and Ive been through many complications since I took the post. The work atmosphere is not healthy at all. El-Komy said.
Hosny AbdRabou might leave Ismaily
The Egypt midfielder signed a new three-year deal with Ismaily but said he could annul the contract after Ismaily failed to fulfill their financial obligations towards him despite the appointment of wealthy businessman Yehia El-Komy as the new chairman.
We do not mind signing Abd-Rabou, but he has to adhere to our conditions over financial issues and the length of the contract, Youssef said on Zamaleks official website on Monday.
Reports also suggest that big-spending Masry and Egyptian champions Ahly are interested in signing Abd-Rabou, who was voted the best player in Egypts 2008 African Cup of Nations triumphant campaign.
