Nigerian tactician Aliyu Zubair has been appointed as the new head coach of Sudanese league giants Al Ahli Madani on a two-year contract.

The former Telecom SC manager takes over from experienced Sudanese coach Farouk Jabra, whose tenure with the club recently came to an end.

Zubair's appointment comes hours after he confirmed his mutual departure from Egyptian second-tier side Telecom SC, where he enjoyed a successful spell and helped the club make notable progress in domestic competitions.

Speaking after sealing his move to Sudan, the highly rated Nigerian coach described the opportunity as another major challenge in his coaching career.

"Al Ahli Madani is another huge challenge for me. It is a great club with rich history and high ambitions. I am looking forward to working with the players, the management and the fans to achieve our objectives, especially as the team prepare to compete in the CAF Confederation Cup," Zubair said.

The move represents another significant milestone for Zubair, whose coaching résumé continues to grow across the African continent. 

At Al Ahli Madani, Zubair will now be tasked with leading the Sudanese heavyweights in both domestic competitions and the CAF Confederation Cup, where the club will be aiming to make a strong impression on the continental stage.
