Hossam Al-Badri backtracked on his decision last weekend to resign as Merreikh head coach, saying he wanted to step down due to personal reasons.

"I handed in my resignation because of some family issues related to my wife," he said. "After I checked on her I decided to get back and carry on my mission."

Sources inside Merreikh said the former Ahli boss wanted to part ways with the club due to financial disagreements.

Last week, Al-Badri suddenly traveled to Canada, where his family live. He should return to Sudan on June 7.

Merreikh president Gamal Al-Wali voiced dissatisfaction over Al-Badri's abrupt departure.

"My relationship with Merreikh's official is good, especially club chairman Gamal Al-Wali," Al-Badri stated. "I'm seeking to win the (Sudanese) League and Cup too."
