In an exclusive statement to “Al-Bawaba News,” an authoritative source within the Arab Contractors Club dismissed circulating rumors about the departure of head coach Talaat Muharram and his coaching staff following the conclusion of the League Cup matches.
The source affirmed that the appointment of a new head coach is not currently under consideration, expressing full confidence in Talaat Muharram and his coaching team.
Former head coach Shawky Gharib resigned from his position at Arab Contractors due to unsatisfactory results.
Arab Contractors, under the leadership of Talaat Muharram, faces a formidable challenge against El Gouna this Monday at 3 PM as part of the second round of Group Four matches in the League Cup.
The Wolves’ group includes El Gouna, National Bank of Egypt, and El Masry.
In the opening round, Arab Contractors suffered a defeat against El Masry with a 1-0 score, while El Gouna secured a 3-1 victory against National Bank of Egypt.
El Gouna currently tops the group standings, followed by El Masry in second place with the same number of points as El Gouna.
Arab Contractors is in third place, with the National Bank of Egypt in fourth.
During the match against El Masry, coach Talaat Muharram was ejected from the field, making him unable to lead the Wolves from the sidelines in today’s match.
El Gouna is led by coach Alaa Abdel-Aal, who aims to continue the winning streak and ensure advancement to the knockout stage, bringing them one step closer to claiming the championship title.
Notably, the tournament witnesses the absence of Egypt’s football giants, Al Ahly and Zamalek, who opted out.
This clarification from the club’s management should put an end to speculations surrounding Talaat Muharram’s tenure, allowing the team to focus on their upcoming challenges in the League Cup.
