Ahmed Abdel Rahim
Club: Zamalek
Esho renewed his contract with Zamalek after it was supposed to end at the end of the previous season.
A source from Zamalek revealed to FilGoal the details of Esho's contract renewal crisis: "The football management saw that the financial clauses in Ahmed Abdel Rahim 'Esho''s renewal contracts are exaggerated".
He explained, "Zamalek gave the player the freedom to decide between reducing the financial value or recovering the contracts and moving to another team".
He stressed, "Esho did not miss the medical examination because the medical examination is divided into two installments, and he is part of the second installment scheduled for examination tomorrow, Saturday".
Esho renewed his contract in the presence of John Edward, the sports director who submitted his resignation a few days ago and was accepted by the Zamalek board.
Esho played 38 matches with Zamalek and scored 3 goals in all competitions.
Zamalek's technical director, Moataz Jamal, revealed details about the start of the team's preparation camp for the new season.
The Zamalek media center explained that Moataz Jamal decided to start the preparation period next Saturday instead of Friday.
The Zamalek coach informed the players of the date for the medical examination over the next Thursday and Saturday to complete the medical tests for all players before the start of the preparation period.
Zamalek indicated that this comes within the arrangements set by the technical staff to ensure the players' medical and physical readiness before the start of training in preparation for the new season.
Zamalek had decided to keep Moataz Jamal as technical director of the team.
The Zamalek board also decided to accept the resignation of John Edward, the sports director, with the name of the new sports director for the football sector to be announced soon.
Moataz Jamal led Zamalek to win the league title last season for the 15th time in its history.
The team lost the Confederation Cup final to Algerian side USM Alger on penalties.
Zamalek is preparing to compete in 5 tournaments next season: the league, the cup, the super cup, and the league cup, in addition to participating in the African Champions League.
Zamalek returns to the Champions League after an absence of 3 seasons.
