Mansour: Pacheco to Land in Cairo within Hours

Zamalek's president Mortada Mansour on Saturday said that the Whites' new head Jaime Pacheco will land in Egypt within hours to begin his mission.

On Wednesday, Zamalek named the Portuguese coach to succeed Patrice Carteron, who left the club after paying his release clause.

In a video during a meeting with the players, Mansour said that some players dealt with Pacheco before when he was a coach in 2015, describing that as "a good issue for the team."

He also blasted the EFA's system in organising the games as the White Knights play a clash every three days saying that it causes injuries among the players.

He also called upon the players to focus during the upcoming period, especially in Raja's match in the CAF Champions League last four as it will decide the situation of the club in clinching the title.

Zamalek are set to take on Raja in the first leg in October as the first tie will be held in Morocco, while the second one will be held in Egypt.
