Zamalek SC are reportedly willing to offer Laurențiu Reghecampf a bumper deal to take over the club as the new head coach.
The Egyptian side are currently without a head coach following the exit of Jose Peseiro. The Portuguese manager was shown the exit last week due to poor performances.
Peseiro lasted just four months as head coach in Cairo, prompting yet another search for a new manager.
According to Romanian outlet Prosport, Zamalek offered former Esperance de Tunis boss Reghecampf a massive $1.4 million per year after he parted ways with the Tunisian side earlier this year.
The report claims that the Romanian tactician turned down the lucrative offer after discovering that the club had a reputation for missing payments to players and coaches.
This was confirmed by Egyptian broadcaster Khaled El-Ghandour during the television show Al-Mahwar Stadium.
El-Ghandour revealed: “The Romanian coach refused to take over Zamalek. He told Ahmed Mido that he had inquired about the club’s situation and found out that it was not paying its employees on time, that it had large financial arrears.
“Basically, Reghecampf said that Zamalek was not a serious club, shocking Mido.”
