Despite announcing his retirement from football in 2013, ex-Egypt international Mido, a winner of the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations, claims he was only taking a break from the sport.
In a recent interview on TV, in quotes carried by KingFut, the 41-year-old said he will soon be making a return to the game with a club in Egypt's top division.
"My journey is not complete yet," he said.
"I'm thinking of going back to playing football from the gate of the Egyptian Premier League.
"I bet I will score at least 10 goals if I go back to playing in the Egyptian Premier League, there are currently no good strikers, and that's what encourages me to come back.
"I will join one of the Egyptian clubs soon, and I will go through the preparation period with them. I am ready by 60%.
"I didn't retire from football, I only got 10 years break."
