The man that was at the helm of affairs for seven months at Egypt-based Zamalek has been shown the exit. Reiner Hollmann was dismissed as coach of former African champions after poor domestic and international results. The German's job termination comes just after meeting with the board on Friday.
The 59-year-old has not been able to lift the White Knights out of the doldrums since taking over from Dutch coach Ruud Krol in June, BBC Sports stated. The five-time winners of the Champions League failed to progress beyond the group stage this year and lie sixth in the national championship, 10 points adrift of leaders Petrojet after 13 rounds.
Assistant coach Ahmed Ramzy is likely to take charge for a league fixture Monday against Harras al-Hodoud, who are one point and one place above the fallen Cairo giants. Reports have linked Zamalek with leading 2008 Confederation Cup scorer Eric Bekoe from Ghanaian club Asante Kotoko, who scored 10 goals in the second-tier continental competition.
