CAIRO, July 3, 2018 (MENA) - Zamalek Chairman Mortada Mansour said a one-season contract with Swiss coach Christian Gross represents a big gain for the Egyptian football powerhouse club. In statements at a press conference on Tuesday, Mansour said the 63-year-old Gross, who replaced axed coach Ehab Galal, will have four aides.

Swiss coach Christian Gross thanked Zamalek Chairman Mortada Mansour and the club's board for their great confidence, pledging to do his best to serve the club.
