Following the conclusion of the 2024/25 campaign, rumours emerged suggesting that the newly crowned CAF Champions League winners were unsure whether their Croatian manager would continue at the helm, and that they were considering appointing Mokwena.
The Johannesburg native had recently been dismissed by Wydad Athletic Club and was said to be in the running to take over from the former Dinamo Zagreb boss. However, according to Balad Nael Youm, that will not be the case, as Jurcic is set to remain in charge heading into the new campaign.
It is understood that the 55-year-old will officially return to Cairo on 5 July 2025 to begin pre-season preparations. The Ljubuski native was recently in the Egyptian capital to discuss the team’s transfer plans before returning to his homeland in Croatia, but the Champions League-winning coach is expected back this coming weekend to commence pre-season testing from 8 July.
The same report notes that it remains undecided where the squad will hold their pre-season camp, with the Netherlands and Slovenia being the two likeliest destinations.
