The German tactician is no stranger to North Africa, having previously managed Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca, where he lead the team to the league title without suffering a single defeat.
Reports in Egypt claim that Zinnbauer has already spoken with the CAF Confederation Cup holders over a zoom meeting to discuss the head coach role.
According to Egyptian outlet Al-Jumhuriya, Zinnbauer is open to taking the job on condition that the club allows him to bring in his own backroom staff.
The former Raja coach would like an assistant coach, a performance analyst, a fitness trainer, and a goalkeeping trainer.
Zamalek are currently second in the Egyptian Premier League standings, having won three of their opening four fixtures.
