Ismaily newly-elected president, Yehia El-Komy, said that football team head coach Talaat Youssef has one last chance to prove himself.
Talaat Youssef was appointed at the start of the season as a replacement for Ehab Galal, who took charge of Pyramids FC.
The Yellows reinforced their squad by adding nine players to their ranks last summer and despite that, Youssef couldn’t have asked for a worst start.

The former Ittihad of Alexandria coach lost 4-0 in the league opener against Al Ahly, before losing in the second gameweek to Ceramica Cleopatra 2-1.
He will lead the team in their upcoming game against Bank Al Ahly on Tuesday, which might also be his last in charge of the three-time Egyptian champions, if he doesn’t get a positive result.
“After consulting with the club’s board, I decided to give the coaching staff a last chance in the Bank Al Ahly match. The fans are angry by the results,” El-Komy told the club’s official website.
“If the negative results continue, we have to take a decision in the interest of the team. We agreed for fans to attend the training and we are currently negotiating with security officils to determine the allowed number,” he concluded.
