Micho, who joined Zamalek after terminating his contract with Orlando Pirates F.C, was the third choice for the Whites' board of directors after the Portuguese manager Jesualdo Ferreira and the Argentine coach Ramón Ángel Díaz.

Media reported that former Al Ahly coach Patrice Carteron would land in Cairo on Tuesday to succeed Micho. Several reports claimed that contacted the french manager to lead Zamalek in the upcoming period.

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

The White knights, who were drawn in Group A in the CAF Champions League alongside C.D. Primeiro de Agosto, ZESCO United F.C (Zambia), and TP Mazembe (DR Congo), are set to play against C.D. Primeiro de Agosto on Saturday in the second round of the group stage.
