A reliable source within ZED Club has revealed the stance of Mohamed Shawky, the team's head coach, regarding his future after the exit from the CAF Confederation Cup, following a 2-1 defeat to Tanzanian side Azam FC in the second leg of the Round of 32.
The source confirmed that ZED's management is not considering terminating Mohamed Shawky's contract or thanking him for the early exit from the African competition, emphasizing that the head coach enjoys significant support from the club's officials, and there is no intention to part ways with him at this time.
ZED has not discussed the possibility of Mohamed Shawky's departure
The source added that ZED's management has not raised the idea of Mohamed Shawky's departure after the exit from the Confederation Cup, as they are convinced of his coaching abilities and wish to provide stability to the technical staff, especially since the team still faces important challenges in the domestic league this season.
It was clarified that Mohamed Shawky will continue to lead the team until the end of his contract, according to the club's management vision, which prefers to maintain his leadership while focusing on correcting the mistakes that emerged during the two matches against Azam FC and benefiting from the experience of participating in Africa to prepare the team for upcoming challenges.
ZED was eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup in the Round of 32 after losing to Azam FC with an aggregate score of 2-1 over two legs, ending their journey in the continental tournament and shifting the team's focus to local competitions in the upcoming phase.
ZED's management aims to quickly wrap up the African exit and give the coaching staff and players the opportunity to concentrate on the upcoming matches, while working to improve results and deliver performances that align with the club's ambitions, especially given the variety of competitions the team is participating in this season.
Mohamed Shawky and his coaching team are expected to focus on the Egyptian Premier League, the Egypt Cup, and the Cairo Cup in the coming period, in an attempt to compensate for the African setback and achieve positive results, while continuing to develop the team's performance and address the mistakes that appeared in recent matches.
ZED's management's insistence on retaining Mohamed Shawky reflects their desire to maintain technical stability and give the head coach enough time to pursue his project with the team, avoiding hasty decisions following the exit from the African tournament, while awaiting what the team will deliver in the upcoming local competitions.
