Source: Sports Min. to Sack Mortada Mansour Within Hours

A source in Zamalek club told SEENews that Minister of Youth and Sports Dr. Ashraf Sobhi would sack the Whites' chairman Mortada Mansour within hours.

The source pointed out that the club's financial committee will be placed under the supervision of the youth ministry.

It also added that the board of directors will resume their work normally, without interfering in the financial issues.

"The current board of directors will manage the club for the upcoming seven months, after that the Egyptian ministry will call for a new election. Mortada Mansour will not have the right to enter the new elections race," the source explained.

It is worth mentioning that the Egyptian Olympic Committee has suspended Mansour for four years and called for running new elections for the White Knights’ presidency.

In a statement, the Egyptian Committee has banned Ahmed Mortada Mansour from practicing any sporting activity and fined him EGP 100,000.

It also banned the Whites’ president from holding any meetings or setting up any general assemblies during the suspension period.

The Egyptian Committee also prevented him from taking any official decisions, related to any financial issues.

“Zamalek’s vice president and the board of directors’ members must call for holding an ordinary general assembly. Its purpose is to call for running elections in the board of directors’ vacant seats, especially the chairman seat,” it concluded.
