The Zamalek Club's Board of Directors announced the acceptance of Abd El-Wahid El-Sayed's resignation from the position of football director after he submitted his resignation, apologizing for continuing in the role. This resignation follows a long period of hard work that Abd El-Wahid El-Sayed put into managing football operations within the first team, as he made serious efforts to develop the team on all levels. This step was announced after several consultations, where the board decided to thank him for his significant efforts, while confirming that the club will benefit from his extensive experience in another area.

In an official statement issued by the club, the Zamalek Board of Directors announced new plans to benefit from Abd El-Wahid El-Sayed's experience in the club’s youth sector, which is one of the vital sectors representing the future of Zamalek. This decision aligns with the club’s strategy to develop a broad base of young players by investing in local talents to guide the upcoming generations toward success, focusing on training youth at the highest levels to produce players capable of supporting the first team in the near future.

This move is part of the club's larger plans for the coming years, which aim to create a generation of talented players who can carry the Zamalek flag in various local and international competitions. The decision marks a strategic shift in the team's management as Zamalek looks forward to achieving sustainability in performance and developing a pool of distinguished players who can contribute to elevating the first team’s level.

Zamalek has also included in its future plans a reevaluation of how the team is built, following the previous decision to part ways with Portuguese coach José Peseiro, the first-team coach, by mutual consent. The decision followed a series of discussions between the two sides, where they agreed on the need to separate after Peseiro completed part of his mission in leading the team during the past period. The club expressed its appreciation for the efforts of the coach and his staff, thanking him for the time he spent with the team and the tactical and technical efforts put forth in numerous matches.

After about three months of cooperation with José Peseiro, the period in which he coached the first team saw mixed results in terms of performance. Peseiro led Zamalek in 17 matches, achieving 7 victories, including a win against Al Ahly that came after the latter's withdrawal, while the team drew 8 matches and lost only 2. Despite achieving some positive results, the team's overall performance was not at its best, prompting the Zamalek administration to decide to change the coaching staff in an attempt to guide the team into a new phase of development.

With these decisions in place, the Zamalek Board of Directors announced its intention to focus on building a new technical staff that reflects the club's future ambitions and ensures the stability of the team in the upcoming period. At the same time, the club is working on developing new strategies to advance both the technical and administrative sectors in line with its vision to compete at all local and continental levels.

Zamalek aims to ensure the stability of the first team while also strengthening the youth sector, which is considered one of the most important aspects of the future of Egyptian football. The club is working on appointing new talents with a clear technical vision to develop the first team, in addition to relying on local talents such as Abd El-Wahid El-Sayed in the youth sector. Major changes are expected in this sector in the coming period, with serious attention given to developing the technical skills of young players.

In conclusion, the club's board emphasized that the decisions made aim to enhance the team’s stability and achieve a balance between technical and administrative performance within the club. The club looks forward to entering a new phase characterized by development and success, with a focus on providing the best experience for players and the coaching staff while creating an environment conducive to investing in young talents and abilities.

The youth sector is considered one of the fundamental pillars on which Zamalek relies, as the club believes it must prepare the new generations to be capable of competing in all competitions, both locally and continentally. With a clear vision in place, the club is working to establish the foundations for success that can achieve sustainable victories for the Zamalek team in the long term.

In summary, these decisions represent a new turning point for Zamalek, and the club hopes they will contribute to guiding the team back to the path of championships and achieving titles at various levels, while enhancing the culture of sustainability within the club. With the management’s focus on developing local expertise and strengthening efforts with youth, everyone at Zamalek is looking forward to a bright future full of challenges and opportunities, with the team playing a leading role in the development of Egyptian football at the club level.
