Alexandria – Hani Al-Awadi: Ittihad Alexandria's new coach Slobodan Papkovic 'Bob' asked Ittihad fans for patience ahead of the team's new season campaign. The Serbian coach joined the Alexandria club few weeks ago, succeeding Talaat Youssef at the helm. "I'm asking the fans to be patient, we are forming a young team for the future and Ittihad is going to be a team for the coming few years," Bob told FilGoal.com on Thursday. Bob added that he will deploy a 3-5-2 formation after seeing that his players won't be capable of playing with a 4-4-2 system. He added he already has mentally chosen 60% of the team's starting line up. Meanwhile, Bob decided to give defender Hani Sami another trial after the club was set to release the former Kafr Zayat Finance player.
