Former Spurs star Mido sacked by club after allegedly insulting fan

Saudi Pro League side Al Wehda have relieved former Egypt and Tottenham star Mido of his coaching duties after allegedly insulting a fan who asked him to resign.

Mido, 36, represented the likes of Spurs, Ajax, Marseille and Roma in a well-travelled playing career, while also playing for his nation on 51 occasions, scoring 20 goals.

But having taken over the job in Saudi Arabia at the end of 2018, he has now been removed after clashing with a Wehda supporter on social media.

“Please, resign from your rule as Al Wehda coach, we understand your coaching style, but it is not helpful, it is better for you to be a pundit, your words are good, but as coach you are not so good,” wrote the fan on Twitter.
