Zamalek Reveal When New Sporting Director Will Be Announced.. Hossam El Zanaty the Only Current Candidate 🏹🔥

Maher Gharib, Zamalek’s media department director, revealed the latest developments surrounding several important issues at the club, including the January transfer plans, the registration suspension case and the position of sporting director.

Gharib explained that Zamalek’s management has already started working on the potential signings the club could make during the upcoming January transfer window, while awaiting the final decision regarding the registration suspension.

Zamalek Await Final Ruling on Registration Suspension

Maher Gharib said the transfer file is currently among Zamalek’s priorities, with the club hoping that the disciplinary registration ban will either be suspended or canceled, allowing the team to register new players during the January transfer window.

The club is currently working within the framework of the regulations and decisions governing player registration, as the management looks to strengthen the squad with new additions if a decision allows the club to register players.

Resolving the registration issue would also give the Zamalek management a clearer picture of the squad’s needs and its ability to enter formal negotiations with potential new signings.

Hossam El Zanaty the Only Candidate for Sporting Director

Regarding the sporting director position, Maher Gharib revealed that Zamalek could announce the identity of its new sporting director after completing Brazilian player Juan Bezerra’s transfer to UAE club Shabab Al Ahli Dubai.

He also confirmed that Hossam El Zanaty is currently the only candidate for the sporting director position at the club, with the official appointment depending on the final decision of Zamalek’s board.

The appointment is part of the club’s plans to organize its sporting operations more clearly and define responsibilities related to the first team, transfers and the technical and administrative needs of the squad.

Official Announcement Awaits Board Decision

The Zamalek media director stressed that the sporting director appointment has not yet been officially finalized, while Hossam El Zanaty remains the only candidate currently under consideration.

Should the board approve the choice, the official announcement would represent another step in reorganizing several areas inside the club, alongside preparations for the January transfer window and efforts to resolve the registration suspension issue.

Zamalek supporters are now awaiting the official announcement of the new sporting director as well as clarity over the club’s registration status and its ability to complete new signings in January, with several administrative and sporting files depending on decisions expected in the coming period. 🏹🏆
