Ahmed Koshary, head coach of Ismaily, believes Al Ahly have made a reassuring start to the Egyptian Premier League season and that there is no reason for concern, predicting that the team’s performances will improve as the campaign progresses under Moroccan coach Hicham Amouta. ⚽🔴🔥

Koshary believes that early-season results and performances should not be used as the final basis for judging the team or its new signings, calling on Al Ahly supporters to give the coaching staff and players enough time to develop chemistry and reach their best level.

Ahmed Koshary Reassures Al Ahly Fans

Speaking to media personality Karim Ramzy on Mega FM, Ahmed Koshary said Al Ahly’s opening to the league has been good and reassuring.

He stressed that the team’s performance will improve over time and that the coaching staff need a period to implement their ideas and identify the best combination of players.

Koshary also called on supporters to be patient with Hicham Amouta, particularly because he believes the coach is currently progressing well.

He said: “Al Ahly’s start in the league is good and the performance will improve. I hope Al Ahly fans are patient with Hicham Amouta, and I believe the man is progressing well.”

Aktai Abdullah Is a Promising Striker

Ahmed Koshary also highlighted a player he believes could make a major contribution to Al Ahly in the coming period: striker Aktai Abdullah.

Koshary described the player as a promising striker, predicting that he will have a significant role with the team in the future.

The Ismaily coach believes judging the player, as well as the rest of Al Ahly’s new signings, requires more time because newcomers need to adapt to their teammates, playing style and coaching staff. ⭐

Six Matches Needed to Judge Al Ahly’s Signings

Koshary emphasized the importance of avoiding early judgments on the new signings and coaching staff, calling for patience until the team has played more matches.

He said: “We should wait until after six matches so that we can judge the new signings and also the level of the head coach.”

His view highlights the importance of giving players and coaches enough time before reaching final conclusions, particularly because the beginning of a season often includes tactical experiments and changes.

Amouta Needs Time

Ahmed Koshary believes Hicham Amouta is progressing well with Al Ahly, but the Moroccan coach still needs time for his influence to become clearer.

A new manager normally needs time to understand his players’ abilities, determine their roles and build chemistry among different squad members.

As matches continue, Amouta’s approach should become clearer and Al Ahly can gradually move toward the lineup he believes is best suited to competing for trophies. 🏆

Al Ahly Have a Deep Squad

Al Ahly’s squad includes experienced players alongside new signings and young talents, giving the coaching staff several options when selecting the lineup.

However, having so many choices also requires time to establish the best distribution of roles on the pitch.

This makes the opening matches important for building understanding and chemistry, particularly in positions where competition is intense.

Koshary: I Am Always Ready to Serve Al Ahly

Beyond his assessment of the current team, Ahmed Koshary revealed that he remains ready to serve Al Ahly at any time.

He said: “I am at Al Ahly’s disposal at any time,” revealing that he had previously held negotiations to join the technical staff alongside coach Garrido.

Koshary explained that the negotiations ultimately did not succeed and that he did not know the reasons, but he stressed that he would be ready to serve the club at any time and in any position.

Koshary’s Special Connection With Al Ahly

Koshary’s comments reflect his strong connection with Al Ahly, having previously played for the club, while also demonstrating his willingness to return and serve the team whenever requested.

The Ismaily coach emphasized that serving Al Ahly is not about holding a specific position but about his desire to contribute whatever he can to the club.

His comments also reflect his deep appreciation for the club and his long-standing relationship with it.

Can Aktai Abdullah Prove Himself?

After receiving strong praise from Ahmed Koshary, expectations around Aktai Abdullah’s future at Al Ahly are increasing.

The upcoming matches will provide the striker with an important opportunity to demonstrate his abilities and earn the confidence of both the coaching staff and supporters.

At the same time, judging the player requires more appearances, which matches Koshary’s belief that a final assessment should be delayed.

Al Ahly Enter a Building Phase

Al Ahly appear to be going through a period focused on building a team capable of competing across all competitions, which naturally requires additional time and chemistry.

The presence of new players alongside experienced members means developing the team’s final structure will be a gradual process.

The upcoming matches should provide a clearer picture of the tactical identity Amouta wants to establish.

Fans Await Improvement

Al Ahly supporters closely follow the team’s performances, particularly because expectations are high at the beginning of every season.

Although criticism can emerge after any setback, Ahmed Koshary’s comments encourage supporters to wait and assess the team after a larger number of matches.

The coming period could prove important in determining whether Al Ahly can turn their promising beginning into a strong season in terms of both performances and results.

Ahmed Koshary believes Al Ahly’s start under Hicham Amouta is reassuring, calls for patience with the coach, praises Aktai Abdullah as a promising striker and says six matches should be played before judging the new signings and coaching staff. 🔴⚽🔥
