Mido Reveals: League Cup is the Main Reason for Sayed Abdelhafiz's Departure

    Ahmed Hossam Mido, former Zamalek star, revealed the main reason behind Sayed Abdelhafiz's departure from his position as the football director of Al Ahly Club.

    Abdelhafiz left the position of football director at Al Ahly Club recently, and he was replaced by Khaled Bebo.

    Mido, in a television statement, confirmed that the Swiss coach, Koller, who is the team's head coach, requested Abdelhafiz's departure from his position on the coaching staff.

    Mido mentioned that Koller found several recent managerial mistakes within the team, making it difficult for Abdelhafiz to continue after that.

    The beginning of the mistakes was his lack of knowledge about the schedule of the recent League Cup matches. Consequently, he decided to apologize to them because he was surprised that the first match was in two weeks.

Mido added that this angered Koller, and in the end, it led to Abdelhafiz's departure.

The team is currently on a break before returning to training in preparation for the new season.
