Reliable press sources reported that Zamalek Club has entered serious negotiations with Moroccan coach Adel Ramzy, the former head coach of Wydad Casablanca, to take charge of the first football team starting from the next season. This move comes as part of the management’s efforts to provide a technical leadership capable of bringing Zamalek back to the championship podiums after a season that fell short of the fans’ expectations. The season saw the dismissal of Portuguese coach Jesualdo Ferreira in February and the appointment of Ayman El-Ramady as interim coach to manage the team until the end of the season.

Zamalek is preparing for a tough match against their rival Pyramids on the upcoming Thursday in the 2024-2025 Egypt Cup final, a game of great importance for the White Knights who aim to reclaim the title that has eluded them for years, especially after the team’s decline in the league and an early exit from the League Cup.
On the other hand, Pyramids enter the match with high morale and confidence after winning the CAF Champions League for the first time in their history, defeating South Africa’s Sundowns in the final. This achievement raises the stakes for the upcoming clash and doubles the challenge facing Zamalek, who are eager to regain their technical balance and secure a victory that satisfies their large fanbase.

Zamalek’s management is betting on choosing Ramzy to lead the upcoming phase due to his extensive experience in the Moroccan league and the CAF Champions League, especially given the need for a coach capable of rebuilding the team and developing player performance in line with the club’s ambitious goals in both domestic and continental competitions.
