Pyramids FC in Dispute with Coach Over Moroccan Star Chibi

A significant rift appears to be emerging within the ranks of Pyramids FC, centering on the future of Moroccan defender Mohamed Chibi and the contract renewal of head coach Krunoslav Jurčić. Sources close to the club reveal a tense standoff between the club's management and the Croatian coach over the player's potential departure.

“

Pyramids officials are currently seeking to renew Jurčić's contract after his contract expires at the end of the current season, and a meeting has already taken place in the past few days to feel out the pulse.

Pyramids FC management is keen to extend Jurčić's contract, which concludes at the end of the current season. However, during recent discussions to gauge the coach's intentions, Jurčić presented a list of conditions for his continued tenure. Chief among these demands was the release of several players, with Mohamed Chibi prominently named.

The coach did not object, but he set several initial conditions for renewing his contract, including the departure of a number of players, most notably the Moroccan Mohamed Chibi.

The coach's reasoning, according to club sources, stems from repeated clashes with Chibi throughout the season, both on the field and during training sessions. Jurčić reportedly believes the Moroccan international does not adhere strictly to his tactical instructions.

“

The coach's reason for the request is his repeated disputes with the player more than once this season, whether on the field or in training, as the coach believes he does not adhere to instructions as they are.

This demand has reportedly met with surprise and disapproval from Pyramids FC officials. They view Chibi as one of the team's most valuable assets, a standout performer not only in the Egyptian Premier League but also across the African continent. The club's stance suggests a strong reluctance to part ways with the Moroccan star, creating a significant obstacle in negotiations with Jurčić. The situation remains unresolved as the club deliberates on the coach's demands.

Pyramids officials condemned the technical director's request, especially since Chibi is one of the most prominent players in the team and in the Egyptian League and Africa.
