Coach appointment on the horizon for Zamalek
Zamalek's management has advanced the process of appointing a new head coach, reaching a provisional agreement with Tariq Mustafa to lead the team.
Kooora sources indicate a tentative deal to appoint him in charge during the coming phase.
The move aims to quicken stability and avoid any vacancy that could affect upcoming commitments, with promises to settle player dues in the days ahead.
A decisive meeting between club officials and Mustafa is expected in the coming hours, ahead of the team’s practice scheduled for tomorrow.
Sources say the purpose is to seal contract terms and assemble the coaching staff, before an official announcement.
The board is racing to close the file, with Mustafa enjoying broad support at Zamalek; if talks succeed, the new coach could appear at the next training.
Fans are hopeful that this step finally brings lasting stability.
If confirmed, he would join the squad in training tomorrow to begin his tenure officially.
