Zamalek Sporting Director John Edward Nassif set to leave role after board disagreements

Zamalek sporting director John Edward Nassif is set to step down from his position at the Egyptian giants following disagreements with the club’s board over a number of key decisions.

The expected departure comes after Nassif and the club’s leadership reportedly failed to reach an agreement on certain administrative matters and the direction of football operations moving forward.

An official announcement from Zamalek is expected once the process has been finalized, with the club yet to release a formal statement confirming the end of Nassif’s tenure.

Nassif’s exit would mark another change within the management structure of the Cairo-based club as they continue preparations for the upcoming season. His role involved overseeing sporting operations and contributing to decisions related to the first team and football department.

The disagreements between the sporting director and the board are believed to have centered on internal decisions and the working approach for the next phase of the club’s development.

Zamalek, one of Africa’s most successful clubs, will now be expected to address the situation and determine the next step for its sporting department as it seeks stability both on and off the pitch.
