Today, press reports revealed that Spanish Pablo Franco, the former coach of Morocco’s champion, is very close to taking over as the new coach of Zamalek. Franco himself confirmed intense negotiations between Zamalek and his agent, expressing great appreciation for the prestigious Egyptian club’s desire to sign him, indicating the likelihood of reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement.
Franco expressed his happiness and pride at the potential opportunity to work in the Egyptian league, known for its competitive strength and high technical level. He pointed out that overseeing the coaching of one of the biggest Egyptian clubs, which has a rich history of achievements and a large fan base, is a great motivation for him. Franco leaves the ball in the court of Zamalek’s management and his agent, confirming that he will not hesitate to accept the offer if the White Club’s project aligns with his ambitions and if stimulating and stable conditions are provided.
Zamalek’s interest in Franco comes after his remarkable achievement with Morocco’s Fassi team, where he led the team to win the professional league title after 41 years of absence, establishing his name as one of the most sought-after coaches in the North African region. This strong background makes him an ideal choice to lead the team in the upcoming phase, especially with Zamalek’s ambitions to compete strongly for local and continental titles.
Currently, Egyptian Zamalek is preparing for important continental competitions, most notably the African Champions League, alongside its quest to defend its local title. The club hopes that the new Zamalek coach, whoever is chosen, will be capable of leading the team to victory stages and achieving the wide-ranging aspirations of its fans who expect many achievements and titles in the upcoming season.
