John Edward under investigation at Zamalek SC

Sports journalist Ahmed Hassan has revealed through his official Facebook account new developments within the corridors of Zamalek SC, confirming that the club's management is moving to summon the former sporting director, John Edward, to appear before internal investigation authorities at the request of the legal department.

This surprising step comes as part of the comprehensive review being carried out by the Zamalek SC board regarding complex legal and financial files. The current investigations aim to identify the reasons behind the international crises that led to strict sanctions, including repeated bans on player registrations.

John Edward has left his position at Zamalek SC on July 28, 2026, after submitting his official resignation, which was accepted by the board led by Captain Hussein Labib. This decision came after ongoing disagreements regarding several administrative and technical issues.

Zamalek SC's legal department has initiated a comprehensive plan to interrogate several former officials linked to complex issues, in an effort by the board to identify responsibilities and resolve crises that hinder the football team's journey to regain its financial and administrative stability.
