🤾♂️ Zamalek in Critical Phase to Decide New Coach
Egyptian giants Zamalek SC are currently in a race against time to settle the future of their men’s handball team head coach, as the club prepares for a major transition ahead of the new season ⚽.

🔥 Strong Candidate Returns to the Table
Among the leading names under consideration is Magdi Abu El-Magd, the former Zamalek handball head coach.
Abu El-Magd has emerged as one of the strongest candidates for a possible return, especially given his previous successful spell with the team and his deep understanding of the club’s structure and identity.
His name gained further momentum following Zaki’s departure, making him a serious option for the technical leadership role in this crucial rebuilding stage 🔥.
