The Dutch tactician took charge of the Dervishes over a couple of years ago, but he had to end his tenure all of a sudden due to personal issues.

FilGoal.com learnt that German coach Theo Buecker, who had two separate spells at the coastal side, was also nominated for the hot seat, but Ismaili's board preferred to reinstate Wotte.

The 48-year-old is set to arrive in Ismailia within the next few days in order to agree personal terms with Ismaili, after he initially agreed to get back the club starting next season.
