Zamalek SC head coach José Peseiro remains optimistic ahead of his side’s crucial clash against ENPPI in the 17th round of the Egyptian Premier League on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
Despite an unbeaten record since taking charge, the Portuguese tactician has yet to secure his first victory with the White Knights.
Determined to break the stalemate
Peseiro, who succeeded Swiss manager Christian Gross, has faced growing pressure as Zamalek continues to search for consistency.
While his team has avoided defeat under his leadership, a lack of wins has left fans eager for a turnaround.
With ENPPI next on the schedule, the 54-year-old is determined to steer his squad back to winning ways.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Peseiro emphasized the significance of securing all three points.
“Our goal is to win the match against ENPPI, and we will fight to achieve victory,” he stated, underlining the team’s commitment to delivering a much-needed result.
Aiming for a turnaround
Zamalek SC currently sits in fourth place in the league standings with 29 points.
Their last victory came nearly a month ago, on February 7, when they defeated Ismaily SC 2-0 in a match where Ahmed Sayed Zizo played a key role.
Since then, the White Knights have struggled to capitalize on opportunities, drawing matches that could have strengthened their position in the title race.
Peseiro’s tactical adjustments and efforts to stabilize the squad have shown promise, but the absence of victories remains a concern.
Against ENPPI, Zamalek will be aiming to break the cycle and claim their first league win under their new manager.
With the Egyptian Premier League title race heating up, Tuesday’s fixture presents an opportunity for Zamalek to regain momentum and assert their ambitions for the season.
As the team prepares for battle, fans will be hoping that Peseiro’s confidence translates into three points on the pitch.
