Zamalek SC has officially appointed Swiss coach Christian Gross as the new head of its technical bench following the departure of José Gomes.
Gross, who previously led the Egyptian giants to success in the 2018-2019 season, is set to guide the club through another challenging chapter in its history.
The 70-year-old coach replaces Gomes, who left Zamalek to take up a role in Saudi Arabia.
Gross’s appointment marks a reunion with the club where he achieved notable success, including securing the CAF Confederation Cup title during his first tenure.
His return is viewed as a strategic move by Zamalek to restore stability and pursue both domestic and international triumphs.
Zamalek’s management has expressed confidence in Gross’s ability to revitalize the team and elevate its performance levels.
The club is hoping that his vast experience, coupled with his familiarity with the team and Egyptian football, will reinvigorate their title aspirations.
Supporters of the “White Knights” have welcomed Gross’s return with optimism, hoping his seasoned approach will steer the club back to the summit of Egyptian and African football.
His proven track record, both with Zamalek and other clubs throughout his illustrious career, positions him as a strong candidate to deliver on these expectations.
The Swiss tactician’s primary challenge will be to solidify Zamalek’s performances in domestic competitions while preparing them to compete effectively on the continental stage.
Fans eagerly await the impact Gross will make in his second stint, with the team aiming to reclaim its position as one of Africa’s elite footballing powers.
