Mortada Mansour, chairman of the Zamalek board of directors, launched a scathing attack on former team coach Patrice Carteron, following the termination of his contract with the club and his departure to Saudi Arabia to train the cooperation.
Mortada Mansour told “Sada Al Balad” channel on Wednesday that “Zamalek’s relationship with Saudi clubs is distinguished, but what happened in the crisis of Carteron’s exit is called Qasna.”
He continued: “I do not allow the transgression of the rights of Saudi Arabia and its people.”
He added: “I was hoping that some Saudi officials would come out and inform the head of cooperation, Muhammad al-Qasim, that what is happening is not good for millions of colleagues.”
He added: “When the head of cooperation asked me to hire Mustafa Fathi, I agreed to his financial demands and did not argue with him. In return, he rejected Carteron’s request to continue his career with us until the end of the African Champions League.” .
He added: “Although the Saudi League starts in mid-October, what happened was directed against Zamalek.”
“If the head of cooperation had requested a contract with Carteron in a friendly manner, he would have reached an amicable solution with him and would not have received the penalty clause,” Mortada emphasized.
He continued: “Carterón ran away from Zamalek, here’s what I can say. All of his requests were honored, even with the shaky results in the league, we didn’t talk to him and we criticized him at all.”
“Carteron did not come to the club with a bag containing the penalty clause, and I cannot prevent him from traveling.”
And he went on, wondering: “How does Saudi Arabia agree with Carteron’s work there when he’s a liar? He claimed he had psychological problems and wanted to leave because of it.”
He stressed that “there is a Qatari plan to overthrow Zamalek after they broke into the Football Association and revealed the value of the contracts for all Zamalek players.”
“Carteron is a traitor and a liar,” he added.
And on the possibility of Geswaldo Ferreira to train the team again, he replied: “Ward, there is a crisis committee in session 24 hours a day to solve the problem.”
“Within 48 hours, we will announce the new coach,” Mortada concluded.
The cooperation announced the contract with Carteron, a two-year contract, following the termination of his contract with Zamalek.
