Former Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham boss Martin Jol has returned to management with Egyptian Premier League leaders Al Ahly.

The 60-year-old has agreed an 18-month contract and will take charge of his first match on March 5 against Misr El-Maqasha.

Jol's new club are three points ahead of Zamalek, who earlier this week appointed former Scotland boss Alex McLeish as successor to ex-Tottenham striker Mido as coach.

Jol has also managed Ajax and Hamburg and was linked with the vacant Brentford job last summer.
