"Toulan had a long meeting with chairman Mohamed Moselhi and a deal has been agreed," Al-Thaalabi told FilGoal.com.

"He should sign a contract as soon as he arrives in Alexandria."

Toulan will replace Taha Basri, who has been sacked by Ittihad this week following a poor star to the league campaign.

Ittihad turned to Toulan after Hossam Hassan and Anwar Salama rejected the vacant post.
