CAIRO: Ismaili manager Ismail Hefni has been given a vote of confidence by the board despite the team being knocked out of Egypt s Cup.
Hefni s job is safe and he will stay with us for the rest of the season, Ismaili s Vice President Ibrahim Ashour told FilGoal.com.
The Dervishes were stunned by Petrojet 3-0 and eliminated from round 16 of the Egyptian Cup.
Ibrahim Ashour is now the boss in Ismaili as President Yehia Al-Kumi is absent following a rift with the board and Ismailia governor Abdul-Gelil Al-Fakharani.
Elsewhere, Mohamed Al-Etrawi and Rami Adel have been released by the club, which is seeking new recruits before the end of January.
