Ittihad have released striker Mohamed Al-Yamani, having not received any offer for the former Ismaili man despite placing him on the transfer list. "There were no clubs interested in signing Al-Yamani, so we had no choice but to release him," Ittihad coach Taha Basri told FilGoal.com on Thursday. Many have expected Al-Yamani to become one of Egypt's glittering stars after his exploits in the 2001 FIFA U-20 World Cup. However, after being involved in a car crash few days following Egypt's third-place finish, Al-Yamani never recaptured his form. After ending his Belgian adventure with Standard Liege, Al-Yamani had an unsuccessful spell with Ismaili before joining Ittihad, where he endured a disappointing stint. Basri, who helped Ittihad retain their top-flight status last season, is overhauling his squad. Six more players were shown the door by the Alexandria-based side. Striking duo Daudu Alilu and Saied Rabie, Mohamed Sharaf, Al-Wakil Salama, Youssef Taher and defender Amr Al-Desouki will no longer play with Ittihad.
