CAIRO: Zamalek have condemned Manuel Jose s criticism of them following Al Ahly s 3-0 victory over Aluminum in the Egyptian League.
The Ahly boss was responding to his skeptics when he pointed to what he believes is Zamalek s failure to promote young talents to the first team.
Al Ahly s arch-rivals Zamalek were outraged by his comments, believing that the Portuguese should mind his own business.
Jose s irresponsible comments could deteriorate the relationship between such big clubs, a Zamalek board member told the club s website on Sunday.
He needlessly mentioned Zamalek in his speech, the action that prompted anger from our fans.
This is not the first time Jose ignores sportsmanship and football code of ethics. He criticized several teams and managers before.
Zamalek concluded by calling on the 61-year-old manager to concentrate on talking about Al Ahly rather than commenting about other teams.
