Zamalek Present New Coach Micho in Press Conference

Zamalek president Mortada Mansour held on Tuesday a press conference to present new head coach Milutin Sredojević  "Micho."

"Micho is a coach with a very good biography, and his uncle "Tikovic" led Zamalek before in the 1980s," Mansour said.

"Zamalek have 50 million fans, so it is impossible to choose our manager according to the Fans' opinion," Zamalek president added.

Mansour noted that Micho signed a one-year contract for million and 200 thousand dollars with an option to renew for another season.

On his part, Micho said that the Whites' have very good players, and all the factors would help him to achieve the desired goals.

"I am very happy with my new post, and I want to thank Zamalek president Mortada Mansour for his support," Micho said. "I will spare no effort to please the White Knight's fans and achieve many tournaments in the upcoming period," the Serbian coach added.

The Serbian coach will lead the White Knights against Dekedaha in the second leg of the CAF Champions League. Micho terminated his contract with Orlando Pirates F.C, before landing in Egypt to lead the Confederation Cup champions.

In May, Zamalek won the Confederation Cup for the first time in their history after securing their victory in a dramatic penalty shootout over RS Berkane at Burj Al Arab Stadium (5-3).

It is worth mentioning that the White Knights made an ideal start to their adventure in the preliminary stage of the CAF Champions League by hammering Dekedaha on Sunday with unanswered seven goals at Burj Al-Arab stadium.
