Al Ahly surprises everyone by delaying the announcement of the new coach despite reaching an agreement.
Al Ahly management delays the announcement of the new coach until the end of the season.
The management of Al Ahly, under the leadership of Mahmoud El-Khatib, is set to delay the announcement of the new head coach for the Red Team. This move aims to maintain the team's stability during this critical period in the Premier League competition. Despite the club's goal of signing an experienced foreign coach to lead the team in the upcoming period, following the departure of the former coach, Swiss Marcel Koller, an internal decision has been made to postpone the announcement until the end of the current season.
Sources indicate that, despite being close to finalizing the contract with the new coach, Al Ahly's management prefers to wait until after the conclusion of the Premier League to preserve the focus of the players and coaching staff. The club seems concerned that announcing the new coach at this critical point in the season might affect the team’s stability, especially since the Red Team is in a tight race for the league title with other teams.
Since Koller’s departure after an early exit from the CAF Champions League against South Africa’s Sundowns, Amad Al-Nahas has temporarily taken over the team’s coaching duties, supported by former club stars Mohamed Shoukry and Mohamed Naguib, along with Mohamed Youssef as sporting director. This temporary coaching staff is working to maintain balance within the team during this sensitive period, which is becoming increasingly important due to the challenges ahead.
Al Ahly’s management aims to keep the players fully focused on the Premier League competition, especially given the fierce competition for the league title, which is a top priority at this stage. The club believes that now is not the right time to reveal the new coach, and the announcement should only occur after securing the local championship and ensuring a successful end to the current season.
Al Ahly, which is going through a tough phase after being eliminated from continental competition, is looking to strengthen the team with an experienced foreign coach capable of leading the team to success in the coming period. The club’s management plans a strong comeback both domestically and internationally, particularly with the team’s ambition to win the FIFA Club World Cup if they qualify for the tournament.
At the same time, Al Ahly fans are eagerly anticipating the team’s upcoming match against Ceramica Cleopatra in the sixth round of the Premier League’s decisive phase, as the team seeks an important victory to continue their pursuit of the league title in this critical season.
