Hours earlier, Mohamed Diab, managing director of FCZ, revealed the reasons for stopping negotiations with Essam El-Hadary, the historic goalkeeper of the Egyptian national team, to return to football again, despite his recent announcement of retirement.

Diab said, in telephone statements to the “Awdat Al-Dress” program via the “Al-Nahar” channel: “We met Essam El-Hadary in a session at the club after inspecting the facilities and the stadium. There was a great professionalism and the session was purely technical. “

He concluded: “We agreed not to complete the time guest contract because it is not enough to activate that link for this season. The discussion was technical, and the two parties only talked about football, and there were no financial disputes.”
