Egypts all-time leading scorer Hossam Hassan will succeed Ahmed Hossam Mido as Zamaleks new coach, club board member Ahmed Mortada Mansour announced early on Wednesday.
We have reached an agreement with Hossam Hassan to take charge of the team starting from the new season, he told reporters after a meeting between the former Egyptian star and Zamaleks board.
On Tuesday night, Mido was fired despite leading the team to the Egypt Cup title in his first season in charge.
The agreement between Zamalek and Hossam comes after ending his contract as Jordans national team head coach last month.
The former Zamalek, Ismaily, Maqassa and Masry coach, Hossam, will be assisted by his twin, football director Ibrahim Hassan.
The 47-year-old twins took the charge of Jordan team a year ago and managed to guide the team for the 2015 Asian Cup finals.
