Coach Peseiro leaves Egypt's Zamalek after three months
-Zamalek ended Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro's contract by mutual consent, the Egyptian soccer club said on Wednesday, after less than three months in charge due to poor results. "An agreement has been reached between Zamalek and coach Jose Peseiro to mutually terminate the contract," the club said on Facebook. "We wish you the best in your future endeavours." Former Porto and Sporting Lisbon coach Peseiro, 65, joined Zamalek on February 14 to become only the fifth coach to lead both Egyptian rivals Zamalek and Al-Ahly. However, Zamalek, the defending champions, were eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup and the Egyptian League Cup under Peseiro, and a poor run in the league saw them slip to third place, seven points adrift of leaders Pyramids. Peseiro has previously coached the national teams of Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, as well as the Saudi club Al-Hilal and United Arab Emirates' teams Al Wahda and Sharjah.

Zamalek confident of beating Stellenbosch to CAF Confederation Cup semis: Coach Peseiro - Egyptian Football
Zamalek coach Jose Peseiro says his team is confident and well-prepared to win Tuesday's game against South Africa's Stellenbosch in the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinal. The Cairo giants were frustrated after hosts Stellenbosch held them to a 0-0 draw in the first leg on Wednesday. 'We will face an organized team. We are confident of ourselves and ready for the game. The team prepared seriously to achieve victory and reach the semis,' Peseiro said in the pre-match press conference on Tuesday. Zamalek will capitalize on their home advantage in the return leg in Cairo. According to the Portuguese coach, the team will work hard to avoid the mistakes of the first leg. 'We always work to improve the negative points in the trainings at both the striking and defensive levels. We delivered a good game at the defensive level against Stellenbosch and also in the recent cup game,' the Zamalek coach explained. 'We were not at our best striking shape in the first leg and we assess the performance to improve it and keep the team's organized shape,' he added. Peseiro finally highlighted that the South African opponent is a good and organized team, hailing their supremacy in counterattacks and set pieces. The winner between Zamalek and Stellenbosch will face the victor of the Masry-Simba clash in the semifinals.
