The appointment of Hossam El Zanaty as the sporting director of Zamalek remains uncertain, as the club's board has postponed making a decision on his hiring several times. This delay stems from a set of demands put forth by El Zanaty as part of his vision for the role, which have yet to be addressed, leading to a hold-up in the official announcement of his appointment at the White Castle.
Hossam El Zanaty Awaits Fulfillment of His Demands to Accept the Role at Zamalek
Hossam El Zanaty is waiting for his demands to be met and for an agreement on the details of his duties and powers before the official announcement of his appointment. He is particularly keen on having the necessary elements in place to help him perform his role and implement the vision he presented to the club's management regarding the development of the football system.
The delay in finalizing El Zanaty's situation has hindered several matters related to his responsibilities, most notably the enhancement of the first team’s coaching staff. He had recommended a Danish coach to work as an assistant to Moataz Gamal, but the deal fell through after the coach signed with an English team, leaving him out of the equation for joining Zamalek's coaching staff.
Moataz Gamal had expressed his willingness to consider hiring a foreign coach for his assistant staff, but he stipulated that the responsibilities and roles must be clearly defined to avoid overlapping duties or conflicts within the coaching staff, ensuring stability in operations during the upcoming period.
The foreign coach file remains tied to the resolution of Hossam El Zanaty's situation, as he is the one who proposed the recommendation. Meanwhile, El Zanaty is waiting for his demands to be met before taking on the role, which means that matters concerning sports management and strengthening the coaching staff will remain pending until a final agreement is reached between him and Zamalek's board.
