Wael El-Qabbani, the new football director of Zamalek, has requested the club's management to review the team's internal regulations in order to thoroughly examine and identify areas of improvement and shortcomings. This step is part of El-Qabbani's preparations for the upcoming season, as he aims to implement changes that will enhance the team's performance and increase motivation and discipline among the players.
According to a source close to the club, El-Qabbani has already started studying the regulations carefully to determine if certain clauses related to player bonuses or penalties can be adjusted. These penalties include those related to players' tardiness in training or inappropriate media statements. El-Qabbani seeks to restructure these points to align with the goals he wishes to achieve with the team.
The source confirmed that El-Qabbani will continue his role as the club's football director, whether the current coach, Ayman Al-Ramadi, remains in his position or is replaced after the season ends. This indicates that El-Qabbani is working to ensure the stability of the team in all areas, especially considering possible changes in the coaching staff or the club's overall strategy.
It seems that El-Qabbani is focusing particularly on the motivational aspect within the team. He held a private meeting with the players earlier this week, where he reassured them and emphasized that he would be supportive in all situations, both positive and negative. El-Qabbani added that he would do his best to ensure players receive their financial entitlements on time, to avoid any delays in this matter.
He also confirmed that he would work in continuous coordination with the club's management to resolve any financial issues the team might face, noting that this cooperation would significantly contribute to improving the atmosphere within the team and boosting the sense of belonging and desire to win. This comes at a critical time, as Zamalek is aiming to return to victories and win titles after a period of instability on both the technical and administrative levels.
In another context, the team is preparing to face Ceramica Cleopatra in an important match tomorrow, Thursday, at 5:00 PM at the Arab Contractors Stadium, as part of the fifth round of the second stage of the Egyptian Premier League. Zamalek currently occupies third place with 40 points, and they are aiming for a win to reduce the gap with the leading teams. The match is seen as an opportunity for Zamalek to show strength and achieve positive results that will enhance their position in the league table.
According to current plans, the primary goal in the upcoming period is to complete the review of the internal regulations and ensure they align with the team's aspirations for the next stage, both in domestic and continental competitions.
