3 scenarios for Carteron’s successor in Zamalek

The former Zamalek coach, Patrice Carteron, dealt a painful blow to the White Administration headed by Mortada Mansour, and the reason was the decision to leave him with the payment of the penalty clause estimated in his contract of 250,000 dollars (two months of salary ).

Zamalek during the era of the French coach was able to achieve the Super Championships in Egypt and Africa at the expense of Al-Ahly and Al-Tarji, in addition to reaching the gold square in the African Champions League competition, so the ambition of the white club and his hobby is to achieve a continental achievement absent from the club’s treasuries since the 2002 edition.

Carteron is determined to leave, despite the fact that Mortada Mansour and the Zamalek management continue with their commitment, so the leaders of the White Club will search for a replacement for the French coach, and here they will be thinking about the African challenge facing the Moroccan hope on October 18 in the first leg of the semifinals.

Foreign coach:

Following Carteron’s decision to leave his mission in Zamalek, Mortada Mansour announced that there is a delegation from the club that will include the trio Ahmed Mortada and Ismail Youssef, along with soccer team supervisor Amir Mortada, and the task of this committee will be to seek a foreign coach to lead the team in the CAF Champions League competition and the new season. .

– New face:

Mortada Mansour’s decision to seek a foreign coach may open the door to a foreign coach who has not previously been to Egypt or Africa in general.

But here is the thought of the commission in charge of looking for a new technical coach, it is to what extent the next coach is able to know the team in the best way, especially since the Raja Casablanca game will be played on the 18th of next month, that is, after about a month.

The president of Zamalek spoke about the new coach of the team, saying: “Our only condition for hiring a new foreign manager is that he does not say that he is not ready to complete the process. We have a month and it is enough time to prepare for the League. of African Champions “.

And the Zamalek management has previously hired a foreign manager who has never worked in Egypt or Africa, perhaps the most successful examples of the Portuguese duo Gosfaldo Ferreira, and Swiss manager Christian Gross, who led the team last season to crown the Confederation title for the first time in club history.

Repeat the experiment:

This season, Zamalek resorted to hiring foreign coaches who had previously worked on the African continent, so the start was with a contract with the Serbian Micho, where he took charge of several clubs and teams in Africa, perhaps the Most prominent are the Sudanese team Al Hilal, the Orlando Pirates of South Africa and the Young Africans of Tanzania, as well as teams like Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia. .

Micho was able in his debut with Zamalek to claim the Egyptian Cup title by winning the final match with three unanswered goals against Pyramids.

Although the Serbian coach won the cup with Zamalek, the white team at the league level and in the African Champions League competition did not know the best success for the draw (1-1) against the club team Egypt and then the defeat to Enppi’s hands with a score (2-1), and then Loss by three unanswered goals against the Congolese Mazembe.

The decision of the Zamalek administration was the departure of coach Micho, in order to appoint another foreign technical director who had already achieved a long career in Egypt and the African continent, perhaps the most prominent of them were Al-Ahly and the Tigris Valley, next to the Congolese Mazembe and the Moroccan Raja.

After the departure of Carteron from Zamalek, the Greek duo Takis Junias, former coach of Valle del Tigris, joined the Spanish team, Juan Carlos Garrido, who had previously directed Al-Ahly, Al-Raja, Al-Wadad Al-Maghribi and the star of the Sahel of Tunisia, led by the white team.

Takis led the Wadi Degla team from 2018 to this year, where he played 54 matches with the Deglaoui team, winning 15 matches in exchange for a draw in his likeness and loss in 24 matches.

For his part, the Spanish coach, Garrido, has two African Confederation titles that he won with Al-Ahly in the 2013-2014 season, and then with Raja in the 2017-2018 season.

As for local tournaments, Garrido won the Egyptian Super Cup with Al-Ahly at the expense of Zamalek in 2015, and then the Moroccan Cup title with Raja in the season (2016-2017).

Temporary Egyptian coach:

The time factor will be a weapon against Zamalek’s management in the search for a successor to Carteron, and here the temporary solution for the management may be an Egyptian technical director who leads the team until the end of the CAF Champions League competition. .

The Zamalek administration decided to appoint Tariq Yahya to the technical department on a temporary basis, as long as Medhat Abdel Hadi and Ayman Abdel Aziz were in the auxiliary apparatus.

Tariq Yahya had previously assumed the technical leadership of Zamalek temporarily in the Arab Championship, which was held in Egypt, specifically in 2017, after the departure of Portuguese coach Augusto Inacio, in addition to the start of the current season before the appointment of Micho .
