In statements after the victory over El Entag El Harby, Shikabala said: “I give this title to the great fans of Zamalek, who have endured all the difficulties in the last period.”
And Shikabala concluded: “Our next goal, God willing, is to win the African Champions League. I thank all the players who have proven that they are men and up to their responsibility.”
Zamalek had a fantastic run in the competition and they had a strong finish with eight straight wins to come from behind and capture the title.
Zamalek won their third title under their French manager, Patrice Carteron who reunited with the club this season after a short spell in Saudi Arabia.
