The Zamalek Club Board of Directors, headed by Hussein Labib, announced the appointment of Wael El-Qabbani as the new Football Director, succeeding Abdel-Wahed El-Sayed, who recently submitted his resignation and apologized for continuing in the position. This decision comes as part of the administrative changes taking place at the club, as the board aims to continue the development and success of the first football team.

The appointment of Wael El-Qabbani followed consultations and several meetings within the club, which led to his selection. El-Qabbani, a prominent figure in the history of Zamalek, will officially begin his duties on Wednesday, continuing the team's path towards administrative and technical stability.

Earlier, Zamalek had accepted the resignation of Abdel-Wahed El-Sayed, who had served as the Football Director for a long time, achieving many successes in various areas. After his resignation, the club thanked El-Sayed for his significant efforts, noting that his tenure had brought many improvements in the administrative work within the team.

Wael El-Qabbani is considered one of the well-known figures in Zamalek's history, having had successful experiences within the club and in other sporting fields. His appointment as Football Director during this sensitive time reflects the club’s desire for stability and focus on achieving positive results in the upcoming period. The administration carefully selected him for this important role, which requires a deep understanding of the club's needs and the team’s requirements.

These administrative changes come at a time when the competition in the Egyptian Premier League is intensifying, making the role of Football Director crucial. Wael El-Qabbani will face many challenges in the coming period, especially given the difficult circumstances the team is currently experiencing. Zamalek is aiming to maintain its position at the top of the Egyptian Premier League standings.

It is also worth noting that Zamalek made the decision to mutually terminate the contract with Portuguese coach José Peseiro after a short period of him leading the team. This decision came after several discussions between the administration and the coach, as the club seeks stability in the technical staff and aims to direct the team towards achieving the victories expected by the fans. The club appreciates the efforts made by Peseiro but decided that the circumstances were not favorable to continue the relationship.

In related news, the club announced the appointment of Ayman El-Ramady, the former coach of Ceramica Cleopatra, to take over the team’s technical responsibility for the remainder of the season. El-Ramady is an experienced coach in the Egyptian Premier League, having contributed to significant successes with several clubs. Zamalek hopes that El-Ramady’s appointment will be a crucial step in restoring the team’s performance and delivering excellent results in the upcoming matches.

As for Zamalek’s upcoming match in the Egyptian Premier League, the team is preparing to face Ceramica Cleopatra in a crucial game next Friday, as part of the fifth round of the final stage of the local competition. This match represents a significant opportunity for Zamalek to return to winning ways after a series of draws and unsatisfactory results recently.

In the Premier League standings, Zamalek occupies third place with 40 points, following their recent 2-2 draw with Bank Al Ahly. The team is looking to secure victories in the upcoming matches to close the gap with the top positions and continue competing for the Egyptian Premier League title.

Despite the current challenges the team is facing, Zamalek is focused on restoring performance stability and providing outstanding levels in the local league and other competitions. The management understands that stability in both the technical and administrative staff, along with fostering a winning spirit among the players, will play a major role in improving the team's results.

In light of the recent administrative developments, it appears that Zamalek is continuing to implement long-term plans aimed at bringing the team back to the top, with the upcoming period filled with significant challenges and important opportunities to return to competing for both local and continental titles.
