Zamalek sack Pacheco, name Carteron as new head coach

Despite tonight's 2-0 victory against Ceramica Cleopatra, Zamalek decided to sack head coach Jaime Pacheco and appoint French coach Patrice Carteron as new boss.

Earlier, Saudi's Al-Taawoun announced that they reached an agreement with the French coach to terminate the contract and announced the departure of Carteron.

Carteron landed in Egypt on Thursday and completed his agreement with the White Knights' interim committee.

The French coach will start his second mission with the White Knight starting from Tuesday's encounter against ES Tunis in the CAF Champions League as the White have no option except achieving the victory.

It is worth mentioning that he has been named for the first time as the White Knights' boss last year, as he guided them to claim Egypt Super Cup, and the CAF Super Cup titles, before leaving to Al-Taawoun in September.
