Zamalek Part Ways with Jose Peseiro After Disappointing Run
Zamalek has officially parted ways with Jose Peseiro, ending his brief stint as head coach just a few months into a two-year deal. The announcement came after a frustrating 2-2 result against National Bank, which proved to be the final straw.
Peseiro, who took the reins in February, found himself under pressure following the club’s early exit from the CAF Confederation Cup. The Egyptian side was edged out by South Africa’s Stellenbosch FC in a tightly contested tie that ended 1-0 on aggregate.
In a statement shared earlier today, May 7, the club confirmed the mutual decision, thanking the Portuguese coach for his time and wishing him well in future pursuits.
His departure highlights Zamalek’s ongoing efforts to steady the ship and rediscover the form that once made them a dominant force in Egyptian football.
Moses Simon on Trabzonspor’s Radar Amid Transfer Buzz
Meanwhile, over in Europe, Turkish club Trabzonspor is setting the stage for a bold move. They’re reportedly preparing a €10 million offer for Nantes winger Moses Simon.
The Nigerian forward has had a standout season in France, racking up seven goals and nine assists across 30 matches. With just one year left on his contract, Simon appears ready for a fresh chapter after five seasons at the Ligue 1 side.
While Trabzonspor is eager to land the 29-year-old speedster ahead of the 2025–2026 campaign, they’re not the only ones in the hunt. Premier League side Everton has also shown interest, making this transfer window one to watch.
