Officially.. Al-Zawraa Dismisses Emad Al-Nahhas
Tuesday 24-02-2026
All eyes in the Iraqi sports community are on significant developments within the corridors of Al-Zawraa Club, after it was confirmed that Egyptian coach Emad Al-Nahhas has left the team's coaching position, following the recent loss to Al-Karkh with a score of 3-1 in the Iraqi Stars League competition.

Although Al-Zawraa Club's management has not yet issued an official statement, most sources close to the club confirmed that Al-Nahhas resigned from his position after a series of results that did not meet the fans' aspirations, especially after being eliminated from the Asian Champions League 2, and then stumbling locally against Al-Karkh.

Media reports, including confirmations from Qatar's Al-Kass channel, indicated that the Egyptian coach officially ended his mission with the 'Nawras', awaiting the management's official announcement in the coming hours.

The team appeared with fluctuating performance and a clear lack of focus, which increased the intensity of criticism directed at the technical staff during the past period, especially with the decline in results in the league and the team's distance from the top positions, despite having postponed matches.

In a touching humanitarian gesture, team star Hassan Abdul Karim bid farewell to his coach with a message on his official accounts, saying: 'Respected coach, I wish you success and prosperity wherever you are, a wonderful coach and a wonderful person, and you will always remain in my heart.'

Abdul Karim's words reflect the good relationship that united the players with the coach, despite the difficult circumstances the team recently went through, confirming that the issue was not at the level of the relationship within the locker room as much as it was related to results and fan pressure.

Al-Zawraa had contracted with Emad Al-Nahhas to replace the dismissed coach Abdul Ghani Shahad, hoping to return the team to the path of victories and compete for titles, but the experience did not last long, ending with a new departure in the technical staff, opening the door to a new transitional phase within the Al-Zawraa household.
