After only two official matches Ismaily sacked coach Hossam Hassan.
Ismaily were eliminated from the cup quarter-finals after losing 3-1 to Arab Contractors, who were the bottom side in last season�s league competition.
�We have decided in our meeting late on Tuesday to thank coach Hossam Hassan for his efforts with the team and to appoint the club�s former player, Mahmoud Gaber, as his replacement,� the coastal club said in a statement on its official website on Wednesday.
�The other members of the technical staff will remain in their posts,� added the statement.
Hassan�s staff, which includes his twin brother Ibrahim as football director, was appointed this summer by Yehia Al-Koumi who stepped down after one month of his arrival.
The board of new chairman Raafat Abdul-Azim is now handed the responsibility of finding a new coach for the beleaguered Dervishes.
