Zamalek, Ahmed Sayed Zizo and Hossam El-Mandouh
6 September 2026
Zamalek treasurer Hossam El-Mandouh says he will raise the club’s dispute involving former player Ahmed Sayed Zizo in Egypt’s parliament. He questioned a large difference between the salary Zamalek says Zizo requested and the contract value registered with football authorities.
Zizo left Zamalek for rivals Al-Ahly after declining a new contract, and both sides have filed complaints with the Egyptian Football Association. El-Mandouh said parliament and state authorities should review player contracts amid wider questions about registered agreements.
