“El Essawi knows everything about the team,”Fares revealed in an interview with BBC Sport.

“He prepared this team before Desabre took charge.

“We have no time to hire a foreign coach,” Fares added.

Ismaily are leading the Egyptian Premier League table with 37 points, four points ahead of second-place Ahly, who have two games in hand.
