Zamalek face a do-or-die clash at home to TP Mazembe of the DR Congo in the African Champions League on Sunday
Zamalek hope new coach Jorvan Vieira can give them a new lease of life as they host TP Mazembe of the DR Congo in a must-win African Champions League clash in Cairo on Sunday.
The ailing Cairo giants must stage a remarkable comeback if they are to reach the semi-final of Africa’s premier club competition for the first time since 2005, having lost their opening three Group B games.
Their 1-0 defeat by bitter rivals Ahly sealed the fate of manager Hassan Shehata and Zamalek could not get any better under caretaker coach Ismail Youssef after committing dreadful defensive blunders in a 2-0 loss at Mazembe.
The White Knights, who lost to Ghana’s Berekum Chelsea in their opening group-stage game, are languishing at the bottom with no points. Chelsea and Mazembe have four points each, five behind runaway leaders Ahly.
Zamalek must beat Mazembe and hope Cairo foes Ahly overcome Chelsea on Sunday to keep alive their hopes of booking a last-four berth.
