Farewell Echoes: Salahuddin Msedk Leaves Zamalek for a New Challenge in Casablanca
Salahuddin Msedk bids farewell to Zamalek ahead of his move to Wydad Casablanca

Farewell note to the Zamalek faithful

Salahuddin Msedk, the former Zamalek defender who recently moved to Wydad Casablanca, sent a heartfelt message to the White Knights’ supporters. He stressed it had been a privilege to share the pitch with the club, describing Zamalek as one of Africa’s most venerable sports fortresses and affirming he would always be proud to have worn the white jersey.

His departure comes after a brief spell at Zamalek, which he joined during the winter mercato from Nahdat Zemamra. The relationship concluded with the contract being terminated by mutual agreement due to lingering financial concerns. Official statistics show Msedk appeared in 16 competitive matches for the club, amassing 1,083 minutes on the pitch.

In an Instagram post, he thanked the club’s technical, medical, administrative, and support staff, and he singled out his teammates as the true pillars both on and off the field. He also commended the club’s fans for their unwavering backing, vowing that the bond would remain a defining memory as he embarks on a new chapter in Casablanca.

Looking ahead, Msedk’s move to Wydad signals a fresh challenge in a different footballing landscape, where he aims to contribute to a competitive edition of Moroccan football while carrying the lessons from his Cairo years. Although the stint at Zamalek was shorter than expected, the respect and gratitude in his farewell message left a lasting impression on supporters of both clubs.

And now, for a couple of snipers’ quips to keep the mood light:

1) If precision were a transfer fee, Salahuddin would be the most expensive sniper in the market—deadly accurate, minimal drama, and an exit that’s spotless.

2) He didn’t just leave; he executed the perfect farewell—one quiet step, one loud impression, and a memory that lingers longer than a whistle after stoppage time.
