Zamalek to face Haras El-Hedoud in Egyptian Cup

CAIRO - 7 December 2017: Zamalek SC heads on Thursday to Al-Salam stadium to play against Haras El-Hedoud in round 16 of the Egyptian Cup at 7 p.m. (CLT).

Haras El-Hedoud, two times Egyptian cup winner, plays in the second division of the Egyptian league. El-Hedoud`s coaching staff aims to surprise Zamalek this time and win the game.

On Zamalek's side, head coach Jovovic Nebojsa is under pressure due to the unsatisfying performance of his team, and he may leave the club at any time, according to reports by the White castle.

Zamalek SC did not achieve good results in the Egyptian Premiere league. They ended the game against Al-Ragaa, which is in the last position in the league table, in a (1-1) draw. They also lost against Misr Al-Maqassa (3-1) in week 11. The team’s poor performance in the past caused the resignation of three coaching staff members, Hussein el-Sayed, Medhat Abdel Hady and Tarek Yehya.
