ZED FC finished the first phase in 10th place with 21 points, narrowly entering the relegation zone after Petrojet's dramatic late victory over Ghazl El-Mahalla.
The team now face a high-stakes battle for survival in the playoff, where the nine lowest-ranked clubs (positions 10–18) will compete to avoid relegation.
Only two clubs from the nine-team relegation pool are set to be demoted from the Egyptian Premier League ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
The 48-year-old tactician took charge of ZED FC in July 2022 and guided the team to promotion to the top flight ahead of the 2023/24 season, where they finished seventh with 51 points.
Reports indicate ZED FC's management have reached an agreement with former Egypt assistant coach Hamada Sedki to take over the team until the end of the season.
ZED FC will kick off their relegation group playoff against Ghazl El-Mahalla on Wednesday 12 March.

Rana Atef On Monday, Saudi club Al Nassr officially announced the appointment of Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus as head coach of the first football team. The contract is a one-year one. In an official statement, the club confirmed that Jesus signed the deal in Riyadh, just days before the team's preseason camp kicks off on July 17. Jesus replaces Italian coach Stefano Pioli, whose stint with 'Al-Alami' lasted less than a full season. As part of the summer preparation program, Al Nassr management has agreed with Jesus to play five friendly matches. Three of those will be held in Austria during the first phase of the camp, followed by two matches in Portugal, including a highly anticipated clash with French side Olympique Lyon. The team will open their friendlies with a match against an amateur Austrian side. Al Nassr had previously outlined a 30-day preparation plan involving three stages: the gathering in Riyadh on July 17, followed by training in Austria from July 20 to August 4, and then a second phase in Portugal until August 11. The final leg will take place in Hong Kong.

Real Madrid sign Benfica's Carreras to continue summer rebuild - World
Real Madrid signed defender Alvaro Carreras from Benfica on a six-year deal, the Spanish giants said on Monday. The 22-year-old Spanish left-back, who played for Madrid's youth academy before joining Manchester United in 2020, is reported to have cost close to 50 million euros ($58 million). "Real Madrid and Benfica have reached an agreement for the transfer of Alvaro Carreras, who will be under contract with our club for the next six seasons, until 30 June 2031," said Los Blancos in a statement. The defender played 62 times for Benfica, scoring five goals for the club, including an initial loan spell before they signed him for six million euros from United in 2024. Carreras becomes Madrid's fourth signing of a significant summer rebuild after Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono, at an estimated cost of around 170 million euros in transfer fees. After finishing last season without a major trophy coach Carlo Ancelotti departed and was replaced by Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard steered Madrid to the Club World Cup semi-finals but they were hammered 4-0 by runners-up Paris Saint-Germain.
