Sredojevic cited ‘personal challenges’ as his reason for leaving Pirates last Friday night, and he went further to deny reports that he was actually heading to Egyptto coach Zamalek. 

Images of him at the Cairo International Airport emerged on Sunday afternoon as reports linking him to Zamalek continued to gain momentum. 

On Monday, Sredojevic dropped the biggest hint by updating his Twitter account bio together with his cover page to confirm the news. 

However, at the time, there was nothing official on any of Zamalek’s communications platforms, but with Sredojevic seemingly certain of his position at the club, the Egyptian team was already expected to make it official this week.
