Up until his appointment, the Scotsman was the head coach of Gor Mahia and he will now assist his compatriot and former Birmingham City and Aston Villa manager, Alex McLeish.
McLeish was appointed to the position last month.
Nuttal joins Zamalek when they are second on the Egyptian League table with 41 points from 21 matches.
Zamalek’s eternal rivals Al Ahly lead the table with 47 points.
He leaves K’Ogalo after 19 months in charge during which he won two league titles (2014 and 2015), KPL Top 8 (2015), DSTv Cup (2015) as well as led Gor Mahia to second place in the 2015 CECAFA Club Championship.
He has been facing an uncertain future at Gor Mahia despite winning the league unbeaten last season and his exit comes as no surprise.
The last few months have been punctuated with players’ unrest and departures over unpaid dues as well as fall-out between him and the management after he was informed that the club would not be in a position to double his salary as per the terms of his contract and instead his monthly take-home was reduced by half.
In January, Nuttal had been sacked from his position but was reinstated by the club’s management following pressure from fans and other key stakeholders.
His return did not have the impact that many have anticipated as Gor Mahia have failed to win any of the 6 competitive matches that they have played this season losing 3 matches and drawing thrice.
Gor Mahia’s 1-0 defeat to AFC Leopards on Sunday in a league match played at Kasarani was his last match in charge and the loss brought an end to a 35-match league unbeaten league run.
Sources close to the club claim that Gor Mahia will be looking to bring in Spaniard Antonio Flores to replace Nuttal.
Flores is the former coach of Ugandan side SC Villa.
