Cote d’Ivore-born Burkinabe Aristide Bance is in Egypt to seal a move to premier league side Al-Masry from ASEC Mimosas.

Bance, 32, leaves the Black and Yellow after guiding them to their 25th Cote d’Ivoire Ligue 1 title after a seven-year wait.

In his short spell at the Abidjan giants, Bance scored thirteen goals in twenty two matches.

Al-Masry, based in Port Said will become Bance’s 20th club in 12 different countries over a period of 18 years.

Some of the clubs Bance has graced across the world includes Germinal Beerschot, FSV Mainz, Al-Ahli Dubai, Santos Burkina, Chippa United and Riga.

His international carrier has picked lately and has remained a mainstay in the Stallions ranks.

Al-Masry finished fourth in the Egyptian Premier League 2016/17 season and are counting on luck to participate in next year’s CAF Confederations Cup if Smouha are bundled out of the Egyptian Cup at quarters stage.
