"I really don't want anymore hostility between me and Jose. This is totally behind me now," Al-Hadari said on his personal website.
"I just want to remember my good moments at Ahli."
Jose, who was in charge of Ahli for over six years, launched a tirade against Al-Hadari after the guardian unilaterally terminated his contract with the Red Devils to join Switzerland's Sion in 2008.
The 37-year-old was slated by many people for his notorious exit from the Cairo club, which was closely followed by the controversial move that later caused him to be suspended for four months and handed a heavy fine.
But Jose's words were particularly harsh and offensive. He was convicted after his comments were deemed off-limits by the court of law.
"Al-Hadari is a great keeper but he's one of the worst people I have ever dealt with," the former SL Benfica manager said in a lengthy interview with Emirati weekly Super two years ago.
"He's bad-tempered and doesn't know what loyalty means. He's indescribably selfish and would betray his family and anyone else for money.
"He betrayed the club he played for over 12 years. He also let me and his teammates down by what he did … he's not a good person."
No Legal Action
With reports suggesting Jose is a frontrunner to take charge of Ahli starting 2011, Al-Hadari's lawyer Hesham Al-Akaad said the court order against the Portuguese tactician should be executed upon his return to Egypt.
But Al-Hadari, who has just moved to Sudan's Merreikh from Zamalek, stressed that no action will be taken against his former boss.
"He (Akaad) was just clarifying a legal aspect but there won't be any action against Jose," the former Ismaili shot-stopper explained.
Jose and Al-Hadari were at each other's throats long before their verbal jousting, although the decorated coach has always lauded the veteran custodian's capabilities.
Under Jose, Ahli rejoiced in a blaze of glory and record-breaking triumphs domestically and continently over the past decade.
His return to the six-time African champion is yet to be confirmed after he parted company with Ittihad Jeddah.
