Modern Sport is currently 18th with seven points. They have won one game, lost seven, and recorded four draws. Their most recent setback, a 2-1 defeat against Ghazl El-Mahalla in the 12th round, was the final blow for Dumas.

The club confirmed that assistant coaches Ahmed Saleh and Ahmed Abu Muslim will take charge on an interim basis for Thursday’s fixture against Talae El-Geish while they search for a new foreign head coach.

Dumas, 57, leaves after a disappointing tenure in which his only win came against Zamalek, thanks to a goal from Joseph Jonathan.

Modern Sport will hire a new manager soon to improve their situation and escape the relegation zone.
