Ahmed Suleiman responds to Hussein Labib’s Zamalek board assessment

Ahmed Suleiman, a member of the Zamalek board, has responded to club president Hussein Labib’s criticism of the board’s performance.

Labib said he would rate the board at four out of 10 and added that, if he could revisit the club’s election, he would change the composition of the board.

Speaking to MBC Masr, Suleiman said: “He is the person managing the board, and he is responsible for his assessment.”

Suleiman also said he would wait until the board’s term had ended before giving his own verdict.

“When the board’s term ends, I will announce my assessment and provide an account to those who gave me their votes,” he said.

The former candidate added that he had been close to becoming club president but had chosen not to pursue senior positions.

“I was close to the presidency, but because of my love for Zamalek, I gave up positions,” said Suleiman.

The board headed by Labib took charge of Zamalek in October 2023.

In the election, Labib received 15,229 votes, while Suleiman finished ahead of him in first place with 15,433 votes.
