Ehab Galal (left) was appointed in January by club president Mortada Mansour
After three straight losses in the league, Zamalek president Mortada Mansour has sacked coach Ehab Galal. The latest loss for the Egyptian club was a 2-1 defeat at the hands of visiting Al Ittihad.
It must be noted that Galal was Zamalek's 23rd head coach since Mansour became club president in April 2014.
Interestingly, before the league losses, Zamalek had been knocked out of the Confederation Cup by Ethiopia's Welayta Dicha.
Galal was hired in January to replace Montenegrin coach Nebojsa "Nebo" Jovovic who had earlier been fired.
