Wotte, who earlier agreed to take over the Dervishes starting next season, was supposed to land in Cairo in order to start the off-season period with the club.

However, the former Southampton coach's no show increases doubts over his commitment to his earlier deal with the club.

An Ismaili source told FilGoal.com that the board are already looking for Wotte's replacement.

The three-time Egyptian Premier League champions have been without a coach since Brazilian Ricardo left the club after losing last season's title to Ahli.

German Theo Bucker and Mohsen Saleh, who both previously managed Ismaili, are top candidates to be offered the vacant job.
