FC Sion lost their first match after the sacking of their coach Steilke. They lost by two goals to one to Bellinzona on Saturday in absense of El Hadary who asked to be dropped from selection for the game.

Essam El Hadary is no longer happy a FC Sion. The Egyptian keeper will move to another club in the January transfer window. He came off injured in the last week match after conceding three goals and colliding with the post. He asked to be replaced not only due to injury, but due to the situation at the club and the performance of defense which leaves him exposed at the back as well.

Things are getting worse at Sion as the controversial chairman Constantine decided to give the German coach Steilke the sack last week. Ironically, the chairman decided to lead the game himself in the upcoming matches, a thing that El Hadary couldn't accept as it reveals how unprofessional things are turning at the club.

Reports claimed that El Hadary asked not to participate in Yesterday's match versus Bellinzona. The Egyptian asked his manager/chairman Constantine to leave in the January transfer window and the Swiss chairman approved the request.


The game witnessed two red cards and two penalty kicks. Sion ended the first half leading by one goal which came through Vanczak. However, Nwaneri was sent off following a professional foul and the referee awarded the homeside a penalty kick, from which they equalized through Lustrinelli.

The game was heading to a 1-1 draw but a stoppage time penalty kick was awarded to the homeside and Lustrinelli scored again from the spot to win the game for Bellinzona.

A minute later, Bellizona's Garrido was sent off after receiving a 2nd yellow card but it was already late for Sion to come back into the game.
