Amad Jamal, the head coach of Zamalek's first football team, is considering the possibility of pardoning striker Nasser Mansi after the upcoming match against Rwandan Army in the second leg of the CAF Champions League Round of 32, following interventions from several prominent players to resolve the issue.
Several senior players at Zamalek have made attempts to mediate with the coaching staff to convince Amad Jamal to forgive the player, especially after Mansi's repeated apologies for his behavior during his goal celebration in the first leg against Rwandan Army.
The senior players at Zamalek have called for the situation to be contained, suggesting that a financial penalty on Nasser Mansi and a suspension for just the upcoming match against Petrojet would be sufficient, rather than extending his exclusion from the team for a longer period, in order to maintain stability in the dressing room and keep the players focused in the coming period.
Zamalek's management had decided to suspend Nasser Mansi and refer him for investigation due to his actions during his goal celebration against Rwandan Army, in the match that ended with the white team winning 1-0 in the first leg of the CAF Champions League Round of 32.
The final decision regarding the striker is expected to be made after the second leg against Rwandan Army, based on the developments of the situation and the coaching staff's stance on the apologies and mediation attempts.
