Zamalek begin restructuring process after John Edward’s departure as Sporting Director

Zamalek Club has entered a new phase of administrative changes following the official confirmation of John Edward’s departure from his role as sporting director, with the decision already creating early effects within the club’s football department.

The Egyptian giants confirmed the development through their official application, marking the end of Edward’s tenure as the club’s key football operations figure.

His exit has triggered discussions over the future structure of the football sector as Zamalek prepares for the upcoming season.

Following the announcement, Zamalek board member Hussein El-Sayed instructed the club’s administrative director and football director to begin preparations for the team’s pre-season training camp.

He also requested that players be notified to undergo physical assessments and medical examinations scheduled for tomorrow as part of preparations for the new campaign.

However, the administrative and football directors informed the board that they would not move forward with the planned arrangements until they received official instructions through the appropriate channels.

They explained that John Edward had been the main figure responsible for coordinating with them and assigning duties under the operational structure previously adopted within the football department.

The situation has highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the immediate management of football operations at the club following Edward’s exit.

With responsibilities now requiring clarification, Zamalek’s board is expected to determine a new management framework for the team in the coming hours.

The club’s leadership is working to finalize the structure of the football department while ensuring that preparations for the new season continue without disruption.

The ongoing administrative changes are expected to shape Zamalek’s approach ahead of the new campaign as the club seeks stability both on and off the pitch.
