Several Sfaxien players had offers to play abroad with captain and Zamalek-target Anis Boujelbene at the top of the list.

"We won't let any of our stars go because we still have several goals to achieve," Mahjoub told FilGoal.com in an exclusive interview.

"We want to win all the competitions we participate in, especially the African Champions League."

But the veteran manager, who coached nearly all of Tunisia's top clubs, hinted that he can consider Boujelbene's potential move to Zamalek during the winter transfer window in December, when the Champions League concludes.

Sfaxien kicked-off their group stage campaign with a precious 1-0 home victory over title holders Ahli. They will play Ghanaian side Asante Kotoko later in July in their second Group A game.

"I'm really thrilled with the win over Ahli but we shouldn't be taken away by this victory," he said.

"We have a very tough game against Kotoko in a few days and we have to stay focused."

Algeria's JS Kabylie and Sfaxien are at the top of the group with three points and one goal each while Ahli and Kotoko share second spot.
