Coaching career
Tarek El Ashry's coaching career was shaped by the Egyptian team Haras El Hodood (a.k.a. Border Guards) a team that had a relatively low profile when El Ashry took charge. He led the team to its first ever title in winning the 2008–09 Egypt Cup[2] where Haras El Hodood defeated ENNPI 4–1 on penalties after a 1–1 tie. As the cup winners, Haras El Hodood faced the league champions, Al Ahly, in the 2009 Egyptian Super Cup where they managed to turn out winners by a 2–0 margin,[3] winning the club's second trophy. El Ashry successfully defended his team's cup title in the 2009–10 Egypt Cup Final where Haras El Hodood beat Al Ahly 5–4 on penalties following a 1–1 tie.[4]
El Ahry also led Haras El Hodood in continental competition as the team appeared several times in the CAF Confederation Cup; the 2006 edition being its first. The team's best result was in the 2008 CAF Confederation Cup where it finished in 2nd place in the group stage.[5]
