Reports have surfaced regarding the persistent rumors surrounding Zamalek Football Club entering robust negotiations with Tunisian coach Faouzi Benzarti, the current head coach of Wydad Casablanca.
The Zamalek club is presently in search of a new coach to succeed Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio, who was relieved of his duties due to unsatisfactory results in recent times.
The reports affirm that the officials at the White Castle have engaged in intensive talks with Tunisian Faouzi Benzarti.
However, the management reportedly leans toward securing the services of a European or Latin American coach.
The decision to part ways with Osorio came amid a series of disappointing performances, prompting Zamalek to swiftly explore alternatives to rejuvenate the team’s fortunes.
The coaching staff, taking into account the recent exertions in Angola, has granted the players a week-long break before resuming collective training sessions at the club’s grounds.
Zamalek, commonly known as the White Knights, recently secured their place in the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup.
This achievement followed their last-minute draw against Sagrada in the fourth round of group stage matches in the continental competition.
The negotiations with Faouzi Benzarti, an accomplished coach with extensive experience in African football, mark a potential turning point for Zamalek.
