FORMER Tottenham star Mido has been sacked as boss of Egyptian club Ismaily… after less than TWO MONTHS.
The top-flight side appointed the former international striker on December 27.
But Mido, 40, has now made way after just one win in nine matches with Ismaily in the drop zone.
The Cairo-born ace spent two seasons with Spurs, scoring 20 goals in 63 games, before joining Middlesbrough in 2007.
Mido later played for Wigan, West Ham and Barnsley before retiring.
He said: “I took charge of Ismaily under very difficult circumstances, and tried to fix the existing problems as much as possible.

“I was an Ismaily fan before becoming their manager.
“If the board see sacking me as the appropriate decision, then I support them to take it.”
The club has reappointed Hamza El Gamal, 52, as boss.
Mido had a spell in charge of Ismaily in 2015. He has also coached their league rivals Zamalek, Wadi Degla and El Makkasa as well as Saudi club Al Wehda.

Before joining Ismaily, Mido enjoyed a holiday on a yacht.
And he looked completely unrecognisable, ditching the long hair for a shorter look and a sharp beard.
Mido was pictured living the high life on a yacht with pals.
