Emad El Nahhas (Arabic: عماد النحاس; born 15 February 1976) is an Egyptian football coach and former player who is the manager of the Al Ittihad Alexandria. El-Nahhas finished his career at Al-Ahly Club after retiring, undertaking training several times. He currently coaches El-Geish.[2]
Playing career
[edit]El Nahhas started his career at the Maghagha Youth Center, and there he played alongside players like Ahmed Hassan. He moved to Aswan Club in 1996 at the age of 21, after being approved by coach Mohamed Amer, the team's coach.
After performing well for two seasons with Aswan, Al-Ismaily Club contracted El Nahhas in 1998 despite the interest of other clubs such as Al-Ahly, Zamalek and Al-Masry. It was German coach Frank Engel who approved his transfer to Ismaili.
El Nahhas crowned Al-Ismaili with the Egyptian League title in the 2001–2002 season, and in that season he scored 5 goals. The people of the league win the team to participate in the 2003 African Champions League, in which Ismaily reached the final. El Nahhas bore the team's captaincy in the first leg of the final against Nigerian club Enyimba, a game that ended in Ismaili's 2–0 defeat. The team did not succeed in compensating in Ismailia, as it only won 1–0 and won the runners-up.
After spending 5+1⁄2 seasons with Al-Ismaily, Al-Nahhas moved to the Saudi Al-Nasr Club in 2004 on loan for 6 months. El Nahhas contract with Al-Ismaily ended in the summer of 2004, after returning from loaning victory.
In June 2004 Al-Ahly announced the inclusion of Nahhas for three seasons, compared to 400,000 pounds in the season. Al-Ahly's transition to Al-Ahly angered some Ismaili fans, who considered his lending of the Saudi victory to Al-Ahly as a stop. But El Nahhas denied that his contract to join Al-Ahly had passed before he loaned victory.
The joining of Al-Nahhas during the rebuilding of Al-Ahly team led by the Portuguese coach, Manuel Jose, came after a bad period between 2000 and 2004. The most prominent faces that joined Al-Ahly at that time were Mohamed Abu Trika, Mohamed Barakat and Islam Al-Shater, as well as El Nahhas. And those new deals achieved many championships for Al-Ahly.
Despite Imad El Nahhas's skill but he plays as a defender, he scored 8 goals for the Al-Ahly club in the 2005–2006 season, three of them in the Al-Ahly match with Al-Ittihad FC, which ended 6-0 for Al-Ahly, also scored a skill goal in the Guineas club Renacimento in the League The 2006 African Champions that ended with Al-Ahly's victory 4–0, and scored again in the Egypt Cup a goal against Zamalek in the match that ended 3–0 in favor of Al-Ahly.
He also scored the decisive goal in the penalty shoot-out that awarded Al-Ahly the African Super Cup against the Tunisian coastal star.
Imad El Nahhas is well known for his morals and trustworthiness inside the stadium.
