Helmi Toulan is set to replace Jorvan Vieira as the manager of Zamalek, according to a board member. Zamalek coach Vieira is still absent amid strong speculation that he may not return after declaring that he will leave the club in July. "We are now speaking with Helmi Toulan to take over as first team coach," Zamalek board member Ayman Younes told FilGoal.com. "We will make an announcement later on Saturday." Toulan is believed to be one of several home-grown candidates to land the Zamalek job, including Tarek Yehia, Mohamed Helmi and Farouk Gaafar. The veteran coach is currently attached to Harras Hodoud.
