Portuguese coach Nelo Vingada said on Saturday that neither Ahli nor Ismaili made official contact with him regarding their vacant managerial seats. "No invitations were made for me, I'm coming to Egypt for vacation," Vingada told Al-Hayat TV. "Some people talked to me about the Ahli job, but nothing is official yet. I can't speak about anything unofficial." Vingada has been heavily linked with a move to Ahli to succeed his compatriot Manuel Jose, who left the Red Devils after leading them to a host of local and continental titles during the past five years. Ismaili are also believed to be keeping tabs on the 56-year-old after opting not to extend the contract of Brazilian coach Ricardo. Vingada led Zamalek to their last league title in 2004. He also had a spell in charge of Egypt's Olympic team, but it was not so successful. The former Jordan coach's experience in the region might tempt Ismaili and Ahli to offer him the chance to work in Egypt again. "Egypt is like my second home," Vingada concluded.
