Zamalek to Retain Ibrahim Salah in New Coaching Staff

Jamal El-Ghandour confirmed that Zamalek's management has decided to keep Ibrahim Salah as part of the first team's coaching staff for the upcoming season. This decision stands whether Mo'tamed Gamal continues to lead the team or a new foreign coach is hired in the near future. El-Ghandour stated on his program "Stadium Al-Mohar" that Zamalek officials are keen on retaining Ibrahim Salah due to the strong contribution he made as a coach under Mo'tamed Gamal. This move reflects the management's desire to maintain the team's technical stability ahead of the new season's preparation. Media reports suggest that Zamalek is close to finalizing a deal with Swiss coach (of Italian descent) Uli Forte (born 1974) to take charge of the first team in the upcoming phase. Mo'tamed Gamal, the current coach of Zamalek, successfully led the team to win the Egyptian Premier League title last season (2025-2026) despite the significant challenges facing the club.
