And FilGoal.com had revealed that Haged El-Antably was among the most prominent candidates for the position of Zamalek team doctor.
A source from Zamalek revealed to FilGoal.com "Haged El-Antably, the doctor of Egypt's youth national team, submitted his apology for not accepting Zamalek's offer".
He explained, "El-Antably informed us of the medical committee's insistence within the Football Association, headed by Mohamed Abu El-Ela, on keeping the medical staff unchanged".

El-Antably has worked in various categories of the Egyptian national football team and accompanied many coaches such as Mahmoud Jaber, Wael Riyad, Hussein Abdel Latif, and Moamen Soliman.
El-Antably was present with Brazilian Rogerio Micale when he was coach of the Olympic team, and is currently with Egypt's youth national team under the leadership of Wael Riyad.
He had previously joined the medical staff of New Zealand's Auckland City team temporarily before facing Pyramids last year in the Intercontinental Cup.

Zamalek recently announced the continuation of Moataz Jamal in the position of technical director of the team.
Meanwhile, John Edward, the sports director, departed, and the Zamalek board accepted his resignation.
Zamalek's preparatory camp for the new season began on Saturday.
Zamalek won the Egyptian League title for the 15th time in its history in the past season, and the team also reached the final of the African Confederation Cup.
