El-Magd SC head coach, Adham El-Selhedar has died while celebrating his team’s goal in a Egyptian Second Division in Egypt.

The incident happened on Thursday according to KingFut.

Alexandria’s El-Magd were up against Al-Zarka in matchday nine of the season and the game seemed to be heading for a goalless draw.

The Alexandrian side, however, managed to score the winner in the 92nd minute tosecure maximum points.

During the celebrations, El-Selhedar suddenly passed out and was immediately rushed to the hospital.

He later died in the Al-Amriya hospital in Alexandria and it was revealed a heart-attack was the reason behind his death as per KingFut reported.

El-Selhedar played his professional career for Ismaily in the 1990s and succeeded in lifting both the Egyptian Premier League and Egypt Cup titles.

After a brief spell with Al-Sharkia, he turned to coaching where he took charge of Libya’s Al-Ittihad and was even part of the Ismaily coaching staff. -KingFut
