Emad El-Nahhas

Aswan SC

El Nahhas began his football career at the Maghagha Youth Center, where he played alongside players such as Ahmed Hassan. In 1996, at age 21, he moved to Aswan SC after being approved by coach Mohamed Amer.

Ismaily SC

After two successful seasons with Aswan, El Nahhas joined Ismaily SC in 1998, despite interest from other clubs including Al Ahly, Zamalek, and Al-Masry. His move was approved by German coach Frank Engel. El Nahhas helped Ismaily win the Egyptian Premier League title in the 2001–02 season, scoring five goals that season. As a result, Ismaily qualified for the 2003 CAF Champions League and reached the final. El Nahhas captained the team in the first leg of the final against Nigerian club Enyimba, which ended in a 2–0 defeat. Ismaily won the return leg 1–0 in Ismailia but lost on aggregate, finishing as runners-up.

Al-Nassr

After five and a half seasons with Ismaily, El Nahhas joined Saudi club Al-Nassr on loan for six months in 2004. His contract with Ismaily expired in the summer of 2004 after his return from the loan.

Al Ahly

In June 2004, Al Ahly signed El Nahhas on a three-year deal worth EGP 400,000 per season. His move angered some Ismaily fans, who believed that his loan to Al-Nassr was a step toward joining Al Ahly. El Nahhas denied having signed with Al Ahly before his loan to Saudi Arabia. El Nahhas joined Al Ahly during a team rebuild led by Portuguese coach Manuel José. Other key signings included…

Al Ahly

Al-Merrikh SC

In 2010, he took on the role of sporting director at Al-Merrikh SC, a position he held for one year.

Aswan SC

El Nahhas took his first managerial position in July 2014 with Aswan SC, then in the Egyptian Second Division. In the 2014–15 season, he led the team to promotion to the Premier League after an 11-year absence. Aswan finished 15th in the top tier the following season, avoiding relegation by 10 points. However, a poor start to the 2016–17 season led to his resignation in November 2016.

El Sharkia SC

On 8 February 2017, El Nahhas was appointed head coach of El Sharkia SC. After 17 games and a series of poor results, he left the position on 31 July 2017.
