⚽🔥 Amouta Refuses to Judge Players Before Final Evaluation

Al Ahly’s squad is currently experiencing a period of anticipation as Moroccan head coach Hussein Amouta decided to give all players a fair chance before making final decisions regarding the new season squad.

The coaching staff wants to evaluate every player accurately before determining the names who will continue with the team during the upcoming stage, both domestically and continentally.

Amouta believes every player should be judged based on his performance on the pitch rather than previous impressions, especially as Al Ahly enters a new era aiming to build a team capable of competing for all titles.


📢 A Clear Message From Amouta Before Al Nasr Friendly

Sports critic Mahmoud Shawky revealed details of Hussein Amouta’s conversation with Al Ahly players before the friendly match against Al Nasr, confirming that the coach demanded maximum effort from everyone.

Amouta told the players before the match: “Play, express yourselves. I don’t want to wrong any player, and in the end we will choose what is best for the club.”

The message reflects the Moroccan coach’s philosophy of giving everyone a genuine opportunity regardless of reputation or previous achievements with the club.

⭐ This approach confirms that competition inside Al Ahly will remain open, with the players who are most prepared and capable of applying the coach’s ideas having the strongest chance of securing a place in the squad.


🏆 Several Squad Decisions Remain Unresolved

Despite the start of pre-season preparations, Al Ahly’s management and technical staff are still studying several files related to the squad list.

The main decisions include identifying players who will continue with the team, as well as those who may leave on loan to gain more playing time.

Some positions are also still under evaluation, especially with the large number of players available and the coaching staff’s desire to reach the best possible squad combination.

🔥 Amouta continues to monitor training sessions and friendly matches to build a complete picture of every player’s abilities.


Al Nasr Friendly Provides First Technical Impressions

Al Ahly played its first friendly match during the new season preparations against Al Nasr at Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium, as part of the program designed by Hussein Amouta’s coaching staff.

The match represented an important opportunity for the Moroccan coach to test several players and evaluate their understanding of his new tactical ideas.

Friendly games are not only about results, but also about discovering strengths and weaknesses and identifying the team’s needs before official competitions begin.


🌟 International Players Set to Return

Al Ahly’s international players are expected to return to training on July 30 as preparations continue for the new season.

The coaching staff is waiting for the full squad to reunite, as having all players available will help Amouta implement his ideas more effectively and determine the team’s final shape.

Al Ahly will also face La Viena on the same day in its second friendly match as part of the preparation plan.


🔥 Strong Competition for Final Squad Spots

With the final squad announcement approaching, Al Ahly players know that the current period represents a major opportunity to convince the coaching staff of their abilities.

Some players are looking to prove they deserve to remain at the club, while others are searching for new opportunities through loans or permanent moves to gain more playing time.

Amouta wants to create a balanced squad combining experience and youth, capable of handling the pressure of multiple competitions next season.


Amouta’s Final Decision Depends on Performances

Hussein Amouta appears determined to delay final judgments until the evaluation period is complete, making the pitch the true factor in deciding players’ futures.

Between players fighting to prove themselves and others trying to keep their positions, Al Ahly’s squad is entering a crucial stage that could shape the team’s future.

⚽ As preparations continue, Al Ahly fans are waiting for the final decisions that will reveal which players will continue defending the club’s titles and who will seek a new challenge away from the team.
