Egyptian club Masry sacked their coach Talaat Yussif Sunday after an amicable meeting, thanking him for his time in charge.
“Chairman Kamel Abu Ali cancelled the contract of coach Yussif after the team’s recent humble results,” reads a statement on the club's official website.
The former Ittihad El-Shorta manager, Yussif was at the helm of the Port Said-based club since the beginning of the current season, during which the team took 19 points from 12 matches (five victories, four draws and three defeats) to put Masry in seventh place in the league.
“I am satisfied over the decision and I am ready to help the team in any technical issues needed,” said Yussif, who was nominated to succeed Hassan Shehata in the Egypt job before Bob Bradley's appointment.

Reports suggest that former Zamalek coach Hossam Hassan and his twin football director Ibrahim are the favourites to succeed Yussif. The brothers started their technical careers there in 2007.
