Egyptian club Zamalek have announced that Montenegrin Nebojsa Jovovic has signed a two-year deal as coach.

The Cairo giants were close to hiring former Belgium coach Franky Vercauteren last week, but talks between the two parties broke down last week.

Zamalek, who were African Champions League runners-up in 2016, finished third in the Egyptian league last season 21 points behind winners Al Ahly as they retained their title.

Since Mansour was elected as Zamalek president in 2014.

Zamalek club had already had 15 coaches including Mido, Hossam Hassan, Portuguese Jesualdo Ferreira and Scot Alex McLeish.
