Sabri Al-Meniawi has replaced Mahmoud Gaber as manager of Ismaili, the coastal club said on Saturday. The Dervishes board announced their decision after Gaber and his staff had stepped down in the wake of the severe financial issues the club were facing in recent months. Al-Meniawi, who had previous spells with Ismaili, beat off competition from highly-rated MCDR coach Tarek Yehia. Before being named manager, Al-Meniawi declared that he is ready to work for Ismaili at any time and under any circumstances.
