Zamalek board accepts Galal's resignation

CAIRO – 9 April 2018: Zamalek President Mortada Mansour announced on Monday that Zamalek’s board has accepted club manager Ihab Galal’s resignation after Zamalek’s 1-0 loss to Misr el-Makasa on Sunday in the Egyptian League.

Zamalek assistant managers Nabil Mahmoud and Ayman Abdel-Aziz will lead Zamalek’s training session on Monday.

Misr el-Makasa defeated Zamalek 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Ahmed Samy. Shortly after the game, Galal announced his resignation before his agent Tamer El Nahas’s statements that Galal will stay as the club manager until the end of the season.



“I don’t care about his agent’s statements. He told the media that he resigned and I accepted his resignation,” Mansour told press on Monday.

Zamalek has suffered under Galal’s command, as the club was eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup and lowered their chances to end the Egyptian League in second place and qualify to the CAF Champions League next season.

“We are negotiating with a first-class manager and we hope to complete the deal in the next few hours,” added Mortada.
