Zamalek coach reacts to extending stay in Egypt

After extending his stay with the Egyptian Premier League outfit Zamalek, French coach Patrice Carteron has expressed his pleasure with the new deal.

"I am happy and proud of continuing with Zamalek as well as being a technical manager of the Whites' players," Carteron told the club's television channel.

Zamalek announced on Saturday that Carteron would remain in his post with the team for another season.

The 49-year-old Carteron, who took charge of the Whites last December, helped Zamalek snatch the African Super Cup and Egyptian Super Cup titles and reach the African Champions League semi-finals.

"Zamalek players are part of a big team with great supporters, those fans enjoyed great moments when we won two titles and we want to continue with the same strength," the Zamalek coach said.

"I promise Zamalek fans to do my best to achieve more trophies," Carteron added.
