Hussein Labib: Zamalek Comes First in a Two-Stage Football Company Plan
Zamalek board chairman Hussein Labib said the club wants to establish its football company in two stages, stressing that Zamalek’s interests come first and that neither the club nor its football operations are for sale. He said the board is working on the matter before its term ends, with the current season and next season remaining.

He explained that the board is working on the matter before its term ends, with the current season and next season remaining.
Labib added that appointing John Edward as sporting director last season was a first step towards handing the entire football portfolio to the company. He said the club established its football company last year and received a single offer for it, so it studied the matter and sought to assess its football operations and secure the best offer.
Labib noted that John Edward performed well in his role as sporting director, linking this to Zamalek’s winning the league title, even though many people, according to Labib, had not expected the club to win the title or even qualify for the CAF Champions League.
