El-Selhadar enjoyed managerial spells at Al Ahly SC and Ismaily SC, who both released emotional statements in wake of his death.
Al Ahly’s statement reads:
“Captain Mahmoud Al-Khatib, president of the club, and the members of the board of directors, mourn with great sadness and sorrow, Coach Adham El-Selhadar, the former Ismaily player, who passed away on Thursday, praying to the Almighty to cover the deceased with his vast mercy and enter him into his vast gardens.”
Ismaily added:
“The Ismaily Board of Directors, headed by Engineer Yahya El-Komy, mourns the death of Adham El-Selhadar, a star and former coach of the team, who passed away as a result of a sudden heart attack, following his follow-up to the match of his team, “El-Majd” Alexandria, in the second division league competitions.
“Against this background, the Board of Directors declared 3 days of mourning for the soul of the late.”
El Magd have since announced a six-day period of mourning and suspended their next match.
Rest in peace, Adham El-Selhadar.
