Egyptian media have confirmed that the management of the Egyptian club Al-Zamalek is leaning towards hiring a national specialist to lead the "White Team", amidst serious considerations to end the tenure of Belgian coach Yannick Ferreira. According to the newspaper "Al-Youm Al-Sabeh", sources reported that these decisive discussions came after a frustrating downturn in results, with the latest episode being a costly draw that kept the team in fourth place in the Egyptian Premier League table, raising widespread questions among the fans of the historic club. The same sources confirmed that the thinking is focused on appointing an "Egyptian captain" to take over the technical helm of Al-Zamalek, especially for the upcoming continental event, the Egyptian Super Cup, scheduled to be held in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi from November 6 to 9, with Al-Ahly, Pyramids, and Ceramica Cleopatra participating. In a preemptive move to settle Ferreira's fate, intensive contacts took place between the club's leadership and the sporting director John Edward, following the disappointing 1-1 draw with Al-Ahly Bank on Thursday. A crucial meeting is expected to be held in the coming hours to make the final decision regarding the Belgian coach, whose future now hangs by a thread.
