Former Persepolis football coach Nelo Vingada has been named as coach of Egypt’s Al-Ahly on Friday.
MNA
“Vingada has been chosen as
the new coach (because) he is familiar with local soccer here. He coached in
Egypt before and had other stints in Arab countries”, Hady Khashaba, the Al-Ahly
soccer team coordinator, told Ahly TV.
The
financial details of the deal have not been revealed. The Portuguese joined
Persepolis in February with a 17-month contract but left the Tehran-based club
in late May following the team’s elimination from the Asian Champions League
round of 16.
The
Portuguese coach is a familiar face in the Middle East having been Saudi Arabia
manager in 1996 and 1997.
In 2004, he
took charge of El-Zamalek, Al-Ahly’s arch rival, before a brief stint with
Egypt’s under-23 team.
