Wadi Degla is close to finalizing the signing of French player Alexandre Lafitte, with the terms set to determine the final agreement.

Wadi Degla is close to finalizing a contract with French coach Alexandre Laffite to lead the team in the upcoming period, as the club's management works to identify the new coach.

The management of Wadi Degla has reached advanced stages in negotiations with the French coach, but the official completion of the deal is still pending approval of some conditions presented by Laffite during discussions. The club's management aims to reach a final agreement regarding these demands in preparation for the announcement of the deal.

Laffite at 29

Alexandre Laffite is 29 years old and has had two previous experiences as a head coach, the first with Ivorian club Stade Abidjan, followed by his second stint with South Africa's Marumo Gallants.

Laffite's last experience was with Marumo Gallants last season, where he led the team in 24 matches across various competitions, achieving 6 wins, 6 draws, and 12 losses.

Despite his young age, the French coach has previous experience in youth development, having managed the youth team at Paris Saint-Germain, which has equipped him with skills in working with and developing young players.

Wadi Degla's management is keen to finalize negotiations with Laffite soon, especially since he has become the top candidate for the coaching position. Only the agreement on the conditions he presented remains before signing the contracts and the official announcement of his leadership of the team.
