Zamalek Club is close to officially announcing the appointment of John Edward, the current sporting director of Farco Club, as the new sporting director at the White Castle—a move eagerly awaited by the club’s fans to support the new sports project.

According to informed sources, Edward has already started carrying out his duties at Zamalek unofficially, holding meetings with club officials to discuss the technical and administrative plans for the upcoming period, preparing to launch an integrated sports project that aims to bring the team back to championship stages.

Despite Farco’s management insisting on his continuation, Edward recently finalized his decision to accept the role after a period of hesitation and consultations, especially amid increasing pressure from Zamalek to settle the matter before the new season begins.

The official announcement of his appointment is expected to be made after the Egypt Cup final match between Zamalek and Pyramids, scheduled for June 5 at Cairo International Stadium, a highly anticipated game by the team’s supporters.

Notably, Zamalek will play its last league match against Farco on Saturday evening, a game that will serve as the final rehearsal before the cup final, with a strong focus on finishing the local season in the best possible way.
