Egyptian giants Zamalek on Wednesday announced the sacking of former Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro.
Zamalek decided on their recent 2-2 draw with National Bank.
The Portuguese joined the White Knights on a two-year contract in February.
“Zamalek and Jose Peseiro agree to end the relationship by mutual consent. We wish him the best in future,” a statement on the club’s official website read.
The 65-year-old has been under pressure since the club’s elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup last month.
The holders were eliminated 1-0 on aggregate by the South African club Stellenbosch.
Domestically, they are seven points adrift of surprise leaders Pyramids FC.
In 17 matches under Peseiro’s tutelage, Zamalek won seven times, drew eight and lost twice.
