Officially.. Zakho Announces the Departure of Several Players
Zakho Club has begun a restructuring phase in preparation for the upcoming football season, officially announcing the departure of several players alongside the departure of the team's coach Abdulghani Shahid, who signed with Al-Zawraa a few days ago in a move that was expected after the end of his contract.
The departures were not limited to the technical staff but also included several players who had varying levels of presence with the team, most notably the second goalkeeper Imran Zaki, who did not get his full opportunity throughout the season, at a time when Zakho is seeking to strengthen the goalkeeper position with a player who has more experience and knowledge of crucial matches.
The right-back Ramadan Sadiq also left, who has caught the interest of Al-Shorta and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya clubs, amid competition from several local clubs seeking to secure his services after the levels he has shown recently.
Also departing was Brazilian striker Gustavo Henrique, one of the most prominent names that made a difference offensively, as he finished the season in second place in the league's top scorers behind Mohanad Ali, making him a target for major fan-favorite clubs like Al-Zawraa and Al-Shorta. Meanwhile, the experience of player Jilwan Hamad was not fully successful, as he left after a season that did not bring him many minutes, and his signing was considered one of the unsuccessful deals for the people of Khabour.
Despite leaving earlier, it was confirmed again that the club's association with player Moses Walshik has ended, while Syrian Mahmoud Al-Aswad is preparing for a new experience, having entered serious negotiations with one of the Kuwaiti clubs after a satisfactory season with Zakho. As for Ahmed Yasin, he concluded his short period with the team to return to his club Örebro in Sweden, after an experience in which he performed relatively well without leaving the expected mark.
The upcoming phase will witness more changes within Zakho, amid great aspirations from the management and fans to see a strong team capable of competing, especially after a series of departures that have left multiple gaps within the lineup, requiring precise movements in the transfer market to ensure these gaps are filled with players who meet the ambitions.
