In a sudden outburst in the late hours of Friday, Zamalek�s sacked coach Mido said club chairman Mortada Mansour relied on imposters pretending to be magicians to improve results last season.
Mido was shown the door following Tuesday�s 2-0 Cairo derby loss to Ahly which left Zamalek seven points adrift of their bitter rivals at the top of the Egyptian Premier League table.
�I�m sorry to say that about the club where I was raised, but Mortada Mansour hired sheikhs pretending to be magicians during the whole of last season. Every sheikh earned EGP 7,000 per match,� Mido said in a phone interview with Al-Hayat TV.
�Mansour even asked me this season not to play [striker] Bassem Morsi, [winger] Mahmoud Kahraba and [defender] Ahmed Dweidar because he said they were bewitched.�
