Bencharki's Agent Denies Rumours about his Departure

Prominent TV anchor Ahmed Shobir said on Wednesday that Ashraf  Bencharki's agent denied rumours about the departure of the Moroccan player.

Rumours continued to spread, especially after Zamalek's 2-1 loss to Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League, and after their shock defeat to Taa'la Al Gish in Egypt Cup.

Egyptian reports had claimed earlier Bencharki called upon his agent to negotiate with Zamalek about his departure from the club.

The Moroccan player joined the White Knights last year and he delivered a brilliant performance with the Whites as he became a key player in the club.

It is worth mentioning that Zamalek suffered a 3-1 defeat to Al Gish in the Egypt Cup semi-final to resume their bad results during the last period.

Egypt’s Youth and Sports Ministry formed on Sunday a new interim Committee to run Zamalek club affairs.

“In the light of the Youth and Sports Ministry’s decision regarding the suspension of Zamalek’s board of directors, the Ministry formed a new interim committee, whose task is to run the club affairs according to the Egyptian Sports Law and the statute of the Zamalek Club,” the Egyptian Ministry said in a statement.

The Members of the Interim Committee are as follows:
