Having been initially relieved of his duties in January after a defeat to Ghazl El-Mahalla, the White Knights decided to bring back Jesualdo Ferreira eight days later.
However, since his return to the Egyptian capital, the 76-year-old has struggled to rejuvenate his charges, winning only two of the last nine matches he has taken charge of.
He has lost five of those encounters, the most recent of which coming against CR Belouizdad in the CAF Champions League, which now sees Zamalek knocked out of the group stages for the third successive season.
Their continental exit comes off the back of their Egyptian Cup exit to Pyramids earlier on in the campaign, as well as their Egyptian Super Cup defeat to bitter rivals Al Ahly. It also looks very unlikely that they will retain their league championship as they trail Marcel Koller's men by 11 points.
According to KingFut, the club have also revealed that the Mirandela native has forfeited $520 000 (R9.4 million) after his dismissal. The amount is a combined figure of his release clause, as well as his earnings from winning last season's league championship.
