Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan backs Zizo’s potential move to Al Ahly

Egypt’s national team head coach Hossam Hassan has commented on the widespread rumors about Zamalek’s star player Ahmed Mostafa “Zizo” possibly switching sides to join rivals Al-Ahly.

With Zizo’s contract nearing its end, the 29-year-old’s future remains uncertain as Zamalek pushes to keep him at the White Castle.

Hassan shared his thoughts on MBC Masr’s “Ramez Elon Masr,” saying, “If Zizo went to Al-Ahly, it would be better.” His blunt take stirred the pot in Egyptian football, where club loyalties run deep and transfers between giants like Zamalek and Al-Ahly spark endless debate.

Meanwhile, Zamalek is scrambling to lock Zizo into a new deal as whispers grow louder about Al-Ahly circling the talented star. On another note, Hassan didn’t hold back his praise for Al-Ahly’s latest coup securing Trabzonspor’s Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet,” currently on loan at Al Rayyan.

“Trezeguet’s signing will be the Red Devils’ biggest in 15 years,” he predicted. Al-Ahly confirmed the winger’s arrival for a five-year stint starting next summer.
