CAIRO: Ibrahim Saied revealed on Thursday that he will start Ankaragucu s upcoming Turkish League game against Rizespor, ending a long-running feud with manager Hans-Peter Briegel.
Ankaragucu chairman phoned me while I was in Egypt and assured me that I m an integral member of the team s squad, Saied told FilGoal.com.
He promised me that he will contact Briegel in order for me to return to Ankaragucu s starting line-up. That s why I decided to return to the team s training last week.
The 27-year-old is yet to play any match since the beginning of the season after falling out with the German coach for undisclosed reasons.
Saied threatened to leave the club afterwards and flew to Egypt to discuss a possible move to either Al Ahly or Zamalek.
However, his problems with Ankaragucu seemingly came to an end as he will have a chance to shine against his former club Rizespor.
The natural central defender has said that he will play as a right-back against Rizespor.
Saied, who was part of Egypt s 2006 African Cup of Nations winning squad, has been recently called-up by Pharaohs coach Hassan Shehata for the Pan Arab Games on home soil.
