Zamalek boss Jaime Pacheco is set for a 15,000 EGP fine after failing to show up for the post-match press conference after the Egyptian Premier League clash with Ismaily on Thursday.
According to the Egyptian FA's regulations, any manager who fails to attend post-match press conferences will be subject to the fine.
It is not clear, however, why the Portuguese coach did not attend the conference after his side's five-match winning streak came to an end at the hands of bitter rivals Ismaily.
Zamalek played out a goalless draw with Ismaily away from home, in a match that saw the visitors come close on several occasions, as they were thwarted by veteran keeper Essam El-Hadary.
The draw denied Pahceco's side the chance to move to the top of the league table, as they are now currently second with 21 points – two adrift of leaders ENPPI.
