Mahdi Suleiman Insists on Joining Zamalek. Al-Ahram
The 38-year-old joins on a two-year deal after leaving Ittihad of Alexandria.
Soliman brings extensive experience, having started his career at ENPPI before going on to play for Arab Contractors, Petrojet, Ghazl El-Mahalla, Smouha, Pyramids FC and Ittihad.
He was called up to the Egypt national team several times but never made a senior appearance.
Soliman joins goalkeepers Mohamed Awad and Mohamed Sobhi at the club, though Sobhi is reportedly expected to depart this summer.
He becomes Zamalek’s first signing of the summer, with the Cairo giants also linked with several other potential arrivals.
Zamalek are looking to revamp their squad following a disappointing campaign in which they finished third in the league and exited the CAF Confederation Cup in the quarter-finals, failing to defend their title.
Last month, the club appointed Belgian coach Yannick Ferrera as their new head coach, replacing interim manager Ayman El-Ramady, who had guided the team in the Egypt Cup.
