Amir Mortada Mansour, general supervisor of football at Zamalek club, spoke about several issues that have been raised regarding the team in the past, the most important of which is the leaking of some players’ contracts, and talk of an imminent departure. Portugal Jesualdo Ferreira, coach of the white team.

Amir Mortada, in statements to his club’s official channel on Saturday evening, said: “I don’t understand who is interested in leaking players’ contracts, and a large part of the leaked contracts are not correct or official, but I am talking about the same idea, it is not a military secret, and al -We are among the biggest clubs in Africa like Ahly and Pyramids and we are probably one of the lowest budgets for clubs. I work under pressure This is not the first time that contracts have been leaked, as it happened with Muhammad Awad, Shigabala and Ashraf bin Sharqi, but this time the battle is serious.

He added, “The leakage of contracts is aimed at exploiting doubts about players’ abilities and poor results. There are clubs in the league that pay more than Al-Ahly and Zamalek, and our contracts are normal and logical. The current season’s budget is one of the lowest.”

Ferreira’s departure

He hinted at rumors about Portuguese Ferreira’s exit: “I hear things that have no basis in fact.

And he added: “We know the value of Ferreira very well, we do not deal with anyone piecemeal, the support of the technical staff will be there instead of foreign assistants, and we have been working on this matter for two months. , As Ferreira did not complain about any of the technical staff, everything that was said is false.

He added, “We won the league and the cup with 16 senior players and 4 youth players, and strengthened the squad with 10 players. I hear insults from the players and from my person, Zamalek should be tied in the light. 12 players exit.”

Departure of Imam Ashur

Amir explained the issue of Imam Ashour’s departure to Danish Maitland and the low value of the contract: “I offered Imam Ashour to sign a new contract and tried to negotiate with him, but he waited. His contract is expiring to negotiate and this will put the club at risk because his contract will expire. .” “.

And he continued: “Imam Ashour’s file is similar to the crisis of bin Sharqi and Tariq Hamid. During the previous group, the renewal of Ashour and Abdullah Juma was announced, but when I got the club, the contracts were not documented and I did not find the contracts, but Imam Ashour’s in the organization of the International Federation. Contractually, last January, he had the right to sign for any other club.

He explained: “It was 4 days before the registration door closed when the Danish offer came, after the first million dollar offer, the offers reached 3 million dollars, and the player stuck to his professional exit and refused to renew, and this is his choice. Because I signed him, it’s an outside career. Ashore found that opportunity for specialization.” From 2012, for 12 million pounds, in the last year of his contract, we sold him for 3 million dollars, equivalent to 90. million pounds.

He explained: “Imam Ashour’s signing is the biggest deal in the history of the Danish league at $3 million. Of course, the player’s departure is a loss for Zamalek, and although we love him, we did. As the player’s contract expires at the end of the season, he or the club financially have no chance of becoming a professional. I don’t want to waste it.” .

Electricity

He emphasized on the fine crisis of current Al-Ahly player Mahmoud Abdel Monim “Gahraba”: “We believe that Gahrab will pay the financial penalty estimated at two million dollars and 5% interest from June 20, 2019. FIFA has been fair to us and we do not intend to destroy the player’s future. We were offered more than one solution, but it was not satisfactory.”

He pointed out: “Zamalek suffered because the player’s contract ended or he escaped, and we want the player or the Al-Ahli authorities to finish this matter. We know that the red team is not a party, but there is a ruling. We hope to implement it, Kahraba with his team. Participates naturally and we have no personal problem with him.

Notably, FIFA awarded Zamalek a penalty against Gahraba after the player broke his contract with Al-Abiad without reason.
