Zamalek newly appointed coach Yannick Ferrera vows to meet fans' expectations - Egyptian Football
Zamalek's newly appointed coach Yannick Ferrera said on Friday he is determined to meet the expectations of the club's passionate fanbase and restore the team's status as a continental powerhouse.
The 44-year-old Belgian signed a one-year deal with the Cairo giants, replacing interim coach Ayman El-Ramady ahead of the 2025/26 Egyptian Premier League season, which begins on 8 August.
'I held quick negotiations with Zamalek's management as we shared a mutual desire to work together,' Ferrera said in comments published on the club's official website.
'Zamalek is one of the biggest clubs in Egypt. I read that they were the best club of the 20th century, and I hope now to make them the best of the 21st century,' he added.
The Belgian coach pledged full commitment from day one.
'If we work together, we will achieve victories. I promise Zamalek's supporters that the players will fight from the first day to the last,' he said.
Ferrera arrived in Cairo late on Thursday to finalise the deal and begin preparations for the new season.
He brings experience from Belgium's top flight, having previously managed Standard Liege and Sint-Truiden.
He won the Belgian Cup with Standard Liege in the 2015–16 season and led Sint-Truiden to promotion from the Belgian Second Division in 2014.
