Zamalek Treasurer Takes Zizo Contract Dispute to Parliament
7 Sep
Summary
- Zamalek treasurer will raise player contract issues in Parliament.
- Alleged discrepancies exist between player requests and registered contract values.
- Zizo's contract dispute is now escalating to a national level.
- The treasurer cited a player requesting 80 million pounds versus a 5 million pound registered contract.
The dispute concerning player Ahmed Sayed "Zizo" is escalating beyond football authorities, with Zamalek's treasurer, Hossam El-Mandouh, announcing plans to address player contract irregularities in Parliament. El-Mandouh, also a member of the House of Representatives, believes that the figures surrounding Zizo's contract warrant state intervention.
El-Mandouh highlighted alleged discrepancies between what players request and the amounts registered with the Egyptian Football Association. He pointed to a specific case where a player allegedly asked for 80 million pounds per season, yet their registered contract was only for 5 million pounds. El-Mandouh confirmed Zizo was the player in question and suggested other contracts might have similar issues.
This parliamentary intervention introduces a new dimension to the long-standing dispute. Zizo's departure from Zamalek on a free transfer to Al-Ahly, after declining a contract renewal, has already led to complaints lodged with the Egyptian Football Association by both clubs. El-Mandouh's focus on contract documentation and figures, coupled with his proposed parliamentary action, could significantly amplify scrutiny on the Zizo dispute.
