After six days he won the 2019–20 Egyptian Super Cup against Al Ahly, the fourth in Zamalek's history, winning two one-match trophies in a one-week span.

[13] Prior to his resignation, Carteron claimed that his decision was due to personal reasons; however, the sudden resignation was both surprising and shocking to Zamalek's board and fans, a few days after a 1–0 win over El Entag El Harby, since the club had only one month before their semi-final matches against Raja CA in the 2019–20 CAF Champions League.

Eventually, Carteron mentioned that his decision to leave was already taken, and that Zamalek still have time to prepare for their upcoming matches, then he would pay the release clause immediately.
