Ismailia-Yasser Al-Sherif: Ismaili coach Theo Buecker said that his future with the club depends on that of the club's current interim administration. The German manager said that he would be willing to sign a six-month contract extension with Ismaili only if the current board of directors, headed by Raafat Abdul-Azim, stays in charge. Buecker is concerned he may not see eye to eye with a new administration that would be voted in the elections scheduled to take place this summer. "My decision proves that I'm concerned about working in a decent atmosphere that paves the way for success rather than money," said Buecker. "Ismaili is the kind of place I'd look to work in, especially that I have a top-notch technical staff and great players who help me do my job well," the German added. Buecker has been tipped to take over from French coach Bruno Metsu at the helm of Asian champions Ittihad Jeddah. Reports have also linked him with Saudi outfit Al-Wehda and the Lebanese and Jordanian national teams. On the other hand, Ismaili have signed Al-Qanah striker Amr Samir who will become the second goal getter that the coastal club signs from their local rivals after Salah Amin.
