Hossam Al-Badri, who has assisted Portuguese coach Manuel Jose for the past five seasons, has been named as head coach of Egyptian champions Ahly.

Al-Badri became a frontrunner for the Ahly top job after Nelo Vingada quit last week, less than a week after he was announced as the club's new boss.

Vingada signed a two-year contract with the Red Devils last week, but stepped down days later because of 'family reasons'.

Ahly have been shooping for a replacement for the highly successful Jose, who left the club at the end of May to take over the Angola national team.
