Dutch coach Mark Wotte has agreed to a second spell in charge of last season’s Egyptian title contenders Ismaily.

 

Brazilian Ricardo decided to leave the club last month, despite a successful season with the Dervishes, allowing for the return of Wotte after he briefly led the team in 2006 before departing for family reasons.

 

"Wotte will arrive in Ismailia on Monday to finalize talks with the club," the club’s general manager Abdul-Rahman Anous told FilGoal.com.

 

Wotte was in charge of troubled English side Southampton last season, but could not prevent them from being relegated to League One, essentially the third tier of English football

If correct one would assume that Pinnacle have thanked him for all his efforts and offered him the Academy job at best then !

fair play to Wotte for not leaving us in the **** and sorting out preseason schedule and talking to players etc. He could have walked end of season.

 

I think he worked and tried hard and had we had him in charge all season who knows what might have happened.

 

Good luck Mark!

Mark Wotte has reached an agreement with Ismaili to become their coach for a second stint, the club's general manager said on Thursday.

 

Reports suggested that negotiations between the Dutchman and Ismaili reached a dead end due to a disagreement over a clause in the contract.

 

Wotte demanded to get commissions on every player the club sell, a request that was not accepted by several board members.

 

But the matter has been resolved, Abdul-Rahman Anous said without giving more details.

 

"Wotte will arrive in Ismailia on Monday to finalize talks with the club," he told FilGoal.com.

 

The 48-year-old coached the Dervishes for a brief spell in 2006 before departing for family reasons.

 

He is set to take over at Ismaili from Brazilian coach Ricardo, who did not extend his one-year contract despite guiding the team to a second-place finish in the Egyptian Premier League.

This is probably the best news we have heard for awhile. Not because the guy was out of his depth, not because the guy got us relegated etc etc but because it means the club can now be 100% pulling in the same direction. If things go wrong in division 3 people would say the ghost of Lowe's errors past lives on in Wotte being manager etc.

But now the club can fully start a fresh. It was obvious he would not have been kept on, his record speaks for itself, a record that is very poor.

So goodluck Mark, hope it works out for you there. But you must take part of the blame for us being where we are and thats why im sure most people will be glad you have gone.

Wotte did a good job wiith his eyes closed and his hands tied behind his back, I still think he gets more stick than deserved.

 

I wish him the best, St Marco gives a good shout re: lowes errors past lives.

 

One thing I am confussed about is it says they expect Wotte to be in Eygpt on Monday, he says he'll be at staplewood Monday.

As it says in the title. He's one of the final two candidates.

 

 

 

Wotte ????? .... has the Toilet attendant outside of the Giza Pyramids retired ?????

 

.... Mind you, in the "Pink" he claims not to know what's going on ....... so he's just like one of us after all ......:D

Picked up the pink in tesco earlier & he was qouted as saying he was becoming a bit fed up with the take over saga & that him, the coaching staff & players needed to know now where they stood ahead of pre-season so this news doesn't come as a surprise after reading that.

 

Have to say, i quite like him for the passion & genuine care he has for Saints & would appear he's been working hard this summer already, still i think a change of direction is needed & a clean sweep of the Lowe era so he should go.

He has given some the impression he didn't know what was going on all season.....I blame JP and Rupes for not trying to enlighten him about this beautiful game.:D
