Mahmoud Hamdy El-Wensh, Zamalek’s steadfast defender, has secured his future with the club, signing a three-year contract extension.
The 29-year-old, whose deal was set to expire this season, chose to stay loyal to the White Castle, ensuring his presence until the summer of 2028. The announcement came on Friday, though the club kept mum on salary details.
El-Wensh finalized the agreement on Thursday during a meeting with Amr El-Ganainy, a member of the Planning Committee, and Rami Nassouhi, a Board of Directors member. His decision to remain offers a beacon of stability for Zamalek fans, especially after a tough week.
The White Knights faced heartbreak on Wednesday, crashing out of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals against South Africa’s Stellenbosch.
A 1-0 loss in Cairo followed a goalless first leg, ending their continental hopes. El-Wensh’s renewal, however, sparks optimism, signaling his commitment to help Zamalek rebound and chase silverware in the seasons ahead.
