Ahmed Hossam Mido, former member of the planning committee at Zamalek Club, launched a fierce attack against some individuals, describing them as fraudsters who wanted to seize control of the club without naming them.
The Zamalek board of directors made several decisions, most notably accepting the resignation of John Edward, the sports director.
Ahmed Hossam "Mido", former member of the planning committee at Zamalek, wrote on X: "Zamalek Club has fallen into the hands of a handful of fraudsters who tried to take control of the football sector, buy it for a cheap price, and then sell it for billions of dollars".
He added: "History will record our stance rejecting the fraud the club was subjected to. As I told you before, Zamalek has owners, and no one can bargain over it. Zamalek is strong thanks to its great fans".
