💰 Al Masry Impose Financial Penalties
In an attempt to address the situation, Al Masry’s board, headed by Kamel Abou Ali, has taken several measures, including imposing financial penalties on the players.
According to the source, the club decided to deduct 25% from players’ contract values, with the Egyptian Football Association informed of the decisions.
The move is intended to respond to the team’s recent results and hold players accountable for performances that the management considers below expectations.
🔄 Strong Measures Ahead of the January Window
The club has also decided, according to the source, to place any player found to be underperforming on the transfer list, while removing that player from the team’s plans for the upcoming January transfer window.
The measures could also affect members of the coaching and administrative structure, with the management stressing that any official or technical staff member found to have failed in their responsibilities could face immediate dismissal.
The decisions reflect the club’s efforts to reorganize the squad and address the reasons behind its recent decline before the winter transfer market opens.
👔 Changes Within the Club Structure

One of the main moves was the appointment of Ismail Youssef as sporting director, after the name of Mohamed Elneny had previously been discussed for the position.
Mahmoud Abdel Hakim has also joined Ahmed Sami’s coaching staff as part of the club’s efforts to strengthen the technical setup.
🏆 Support for Ahmed Sami and Internal Restructuring
Despite the recent decisions, Al Masry’s management has reiterated its support for the coaching staff, with the aim of helping the team regain its balance and improve its results in the coming matches.
On the administrative side, the club has also called for the opening of nominations for its upcoming elections during the second half of October, as part of broader efforts to reorganize the club internally.
Al Masry had previously announced the departure of Emad El Nahhas as head coach due to disagreements with the club’s management, before Ahmed Sami took charge.
📢 The coming period will be important for Al Masry, as the club looks to restore positive results, ease tensions and prepare for the next challenges ahead of the January transfer window.
