Carteron's departure from Zamalek brings to mind "Mortada Mansour's guillotine"

The incident of the French coach Patrice Carteron and his payment of the penalty clause to leave Zamalek in the final stages of the Egyptian League highlighted the number of coaches and technical equipment that have been associated with Zamalek, which is 22 coaches and 30 technical apparatus since Mortada Mansour assumed the presidency of the club's board of directors, both in the first term in 2005 Or during the last six years.

Although some coaches and technical equipment were a direct reason for Zamalek's return to the right path, winning titles, most notably the Portuguese coaches Jimmy Pacheco and Josvaldo Vieira between 2014 and 2016, but they did not continue in their positions in light of the accelerated dismissal decisions by the club's management, Or because of differences of views with Mortada and Mansour, and sometimes even for other reasons.

Since he assumed the presidency of Zamalek for the first time in 2005, Mortada Mansour ousted the Brazilian Carlos Cabral, from the technical management of the team, and contracted his successor with the German Theo Boker, who also left quickly, for the same story chapters to follow, after the turn of the Egyptian School for the first time at the end of the term Mansour the first, by contracting with Mohamed Salah, and then Farouk Jaafar, in two experiments that did not succeed, to return to foreign schools by contracting with Portuguese Manuel Kajoda, who was the last coach to train Zamalek in that period before he left and Mansour followed him to leave.

Mansour's second term, which began in 2014, was the most dramatic period in terms of dismissing the coaches, as 18 coaches took turns in the technical leadership of Zamalek at a rate of 3 coaches every year, and the beginning was with the Egyptian Ahmed Hossam Mido, who was taking over the task during the election period before it took place. She sacked him in July 2014, to be succeeded by his compatriot Hassan Hassan, who in turn quickly left in October of the same year, and followed the contract with the Portuguese Jimmy Pacheco, but left at the beginning of 2015 despite achieving positive results and leading the team to move away from the top of the Egyptian League.

And the Egyptian name Mohamed Salah reappeared as a temporary technical manager for the team, until the club completed the contract with the Portuguese Josvaldo Ferreira, who stayed for less than a year during which he won the Egyptian League and Cup titles, but he left due to disagreements with the board of directors, to replace him with the Brazilian Marcos Pacita, and followed the return of Mido, And then Mohamed Salah for a second time, and the Scotsman Alex MacLeish, who left three months after a decision to appoint him, so Zamalek relied again on the National School, by contracting with Muhammad Helmy, then Moamen Suleiman, and Muhammad Salah in a third state, and my dream again, and Muhammad Salah for the fourth time in The era of Murtaza Mansour.

The variation in results prompted the Zamalek management to return to the Portuguese school, when the club's management contracted in April 2017 with the Portuguese Augusto Inacio, who did not survive more than July of that year, to replace Tariq Yahya as his temporary successor, and after that the emergence of a new nationality. The first is the history of the Zamalek coaches, by contracting in August with the Serbian Nebusha Nebosha Jovovic, before the latter was said in early 2018 and assigning the temporary task to both Ihab and Khaled Jalal.

And the new nationalities continued to reappear, in the second era of Murtada Mansour, through the Swiss Christian Gross, who left in a humiliating manner, prompting him to apologize for not returning to lead Zamalek when he was asked to do so again recently, so that the leadership returned to Khaled Jalal for a second time, then Tariq Yehia, who later paved the way for Serbian Milutin Sridovic to take over the technical management, and finally succeeded in December 2019 by entrusting the task to French Patrice Carteron, who won the Egyptian and African Super Cup.
