Nourredine Zekri: My name was put forward for the Zamalek job, but there were no official talks
Former Saudi Al-Shabab head coach Nourredine Zekri said his agent put his name forward for the Zamalek job, but the matter did not reach the stage of official negotiations.
Algerian coach Nourredine Zekri, the former head coach of Saudi club Al-Shabab, said his name was put forward for the Zamalek job through his agent, but the matter did not reach the stage of official negotiations.
In televised remarks, Zekri said he had received offers from Egyptian clubs in recent years, but did not want to coach in Egypt unless it was one of the major clubs, foremost among them Al Ahly and Zamalek. He attributed the failure to reach an agreement with Zamalek to the financial terms, explaining that his demands had increased after his experience in the Saudi league.
