Veteran goalkeeper Essam Al-Hadari said on Wednesday his relationship with Zamalek has reached a dead end. A dispute has erupted between the Egypt guardian and Zamalek after goalkeeping coach Emad Al-Mandouh accused him of insulting the club early this month. Al-Hadari, who is serving a four-month ban imposed on him by FIFA for violating his contract with Ahli in 2008 to join Swiss side Sion, has skipped training since then. He was also infuriated by Zamalek's decision to summon him to hear his explanation. The 37-year-old's decision not to attend training sparked a war of words between him and Hassan twins - head coach Hossam and football director Ibrahim. "I did not resolve my differences with Hossam and Ibrahim Hassan. Whatever happens, I will not accept any reconciliation efforts," Al-Hadari said in a television interview. Al-Hadari also denied that he met the twins on a plane while on their way to Mecca to perform Muslims' annual pilgrimage. "If we had travelled on the same plane it would have exploded," he sarcastically said. "I would have bought another ticket if I had found out that we would travel on the same plane." Al-Hadari joined Zamalek in the close season from Ismaili but his competition with Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed unsettled the team. Hossam Hassan rotated his two keepers in the early stages of the season but neither was satisfied. Zamalek supporters chanted against Al-Hadari and demanded that Hassan reinstate Al-Sayed, a fans favorite, as the team's first-choice keeper during the thrilling 4-3 victory over promoted MCDR last month. Al-Hadari is linked with a move to Harras Hodoud in January but Zamalek said they would not discuss any offers for him unless he returns to training.
