A source inside Al Ahly Club revealed the latest updates regarding the penalty clause file of Swiss coach Marcel Koller, the former head coach of the Red Devils. The source explained that Al Ahly has transferred Koller’s May salary as part of the club’s efforts to avoid any legal disputes or complaints from the coach regarding his financial dues.
Reason for Transferring the Salary

 

The source indicated that transferring the May salary was a precautionary step until a final agreement is reached with Koller on settling the penalty clause in his contract, which requires payment equivalent to five months’ salary. However, the coach has not yet agreed to the offer presented by Al Ahly, which is seeking to reduce the financial demands after his tenure with the team ended.

Marcel Koller’s Demands

Marcel Koller desires to receive the full value of the penalty clause, which equals his salary until the end of his contract that extends through the next season. This represents a challenge for Al Ahly’s management as they seek an amicable resolution to the issue.

Management Seeks Amicable Solution

Al Ahly’s administration is striving to reach a friendly settlement with Koller that ensures the club’s rights and minimizes financial losses, especially after the coach’s period with the team ended following their exit from the CAF Champions League semi-finals.

Interim Coach and Al Ahly’s Next Plan

Amid this crisis, Emad Al-Nahhas is currently serving as the interim coach of Al Ahly until the official announcement of the new foreign coach. The club has finalized an agreement with Spanish coach José Rivero, the former head coach of South Africa’s Orlando Pirates, to take over the team’s leadership in the upcoming phase.
