Enppi appoint former Egypt international Sayed Moawad as director of football

Enppi have appointed former Egypt international Sayed Moawad as the club’s new director of football.

Moawad previously worked as assistant manager under Alaa Abdel Aal at Ghazl El Mahalla, but resigned after a short period because of a lack of harmony within the coaching set-up.

The appointment was announced by Enppi on the club’s official account, which described Moawad as “a major name” and said his arrival represented “a new step towards the future”.

The club added: “Enppi welcome Sayed Moawad, the former Egypt national team star, as director of football.

“We wish him every success in his new role, and hope it marks the beginning of a period filled with achievements and successes with Enppi.”

Moawad was also part of the Egypt national team coaching staff in 2019, serving as assistant manager under Hossam El Badry.

In recent times, he has worked in football analysis for the media.

Enppi are currently 16th in the Egyptian Premier League table with seven points from eight matches. Their latest league fixture before the break brought their first victory after three consecutive defeats.

The club’s next league match will be against Ceramica Cleopatra on 25 November.

Enppi have also secured their place in the last 16 of the Egypt Cup, where they will face Zamalek. A date for that match has not yet been confirmed.
