Portuguese coach Jesualdo Ferreira was sacked again this Wednesday from the Zamalek Egyptian technical team due to the football team’s poor results, adding two layoffs in two months.
“Thank you Jesualdo Ferreira for everything you have done for our club. We wish you great success in the future,” Zamalek wrote on his official Twitter account this Wednesday.
The seasoned coach’s official departure, aged 76, comes just days after a 2-0 defeat in Algeria to Belouizdad in the African Champions League, which resulted in the elimination of the team, which is placed in Group D of this competition, when there is still one day to play.
The Portuguese coach had already been sacked at the end of January, also due to a sporting setback after a 3-0 loss to Al Ahly, but he ended up returning to the position a few weeks later at the request of President Mortada Mansour.
After leading Zamalek to the Egyptian title last season, Jesualdo Ferreira has failed to keep the team on track for good results and is currently in fifth place in the Egyptian league, 11 points behind leaders Al Ahli, who are two short. games played.
