Mohamed Abdel Galil Sparks Debate: Pyramids Lead the Title Race.. Ammouta Needs Time 🏆🔥
Former Al Ahly and Egyptian football star Mohamed Abdel Galil has sparked debate with his assessment of the Egyptian Premier League title race this season, identifying Pyramids as the leading contenders while calling on Al Ahly supporters to remain patient with Moroccan head coach Hussein Ammouta.
Abdel Galil’s comments come amid ongoing discussions over Al Ahly’s performances in the league, particularly as the team has yet to consistently produce the level expected by its supporters under Ammouta.
🏆 Abdel Galil: Pyramids Are the Leading Contenders
Mohamed Abdel Galil said in radio comments that Pyramids have a strong squad, highlighting the quality of their defensive options and the depth available to the team.
He said: “Pyramids have three defenders at the highest level, but Al Ahly will not be able to sign any of them. Pyramids are the leading contenders for the Egyptian Premier League title, and I feel jealous of the performances of their players and their current squad.”
The former Al Ahly star believes the strength of Pyramids’ squad could be an important factor in the title race, particularly given the quality and depth they possess in several positions.
😮 Abdel Galil Questions Al Ahly’s Performances
At the same time, Abdel Galil expressed his surprise at Al Ahly’s performances in their league matches, stressing that the team’s situation must be assessed within the context of the challenges it has faced.
“I am amazed by Al Ahly’s performances in the Egyptian Premier League,” he said, while also stressing that criticism of Hussein Ammouta should not be rushed.
He added: “The idea of playing down Hussein Ammouta is unacceptable because he is a big-name coach.”
🧠 Ammouta Needs More Time
Abdel Galil stressed that it remains too early to judge Ammouta’s experience with Al Ahly, explaining that the coach needs time to understand the squad and implement the adjustments he considers necessary.
He also discussed Ammouta’s personality on the touchline, saying that his facial expressions and reactions are part of his natural character rather than something deliberately created for appearances.
“Ammouta’s nature is to frown, and it is not artificial, but Al Ahly are different from all the clubs he has coached before,” Abdel Galil explained.
🔴 Al Ahly’s Management Has Provided Everything
The former Al Ahly player also believes the club’s management has provided the team with what it needs, while the atmosphere inside the dressing room has improved compared with last season.
“Al Ahly’s management has provided everything, and the team’s dressing room has become better than last season,” he said.
According to Abdel Galil, this gives the coaching staff and players a foundation on which they can work to improve their performances during the upcoming period.
⏳ Zamalek Match a Key Opportunity for Ammouta
Abdel Galil also pointed to the upcoming Zamalek match as an important opportunity for Ammouta to reassess some of his decisions, particularly with the international break approaching.
The former Al Ahly star believes it is still too early to make a final judgment on the coach, while the derby could provide an important occasion to evaluate the team and correct its course.
The fixture carries particular importance for Al Ahly supporters, making the Zamalek clash a significant test for both the coaching staff and the players.
🔥 Changing the Coach Could Create Another Crisis
Abdel Galil warned against changing the head coach at this stage, arguing that such a decision could create another crisis for Al Ahly, particularly after the club has experienced several coaching changes in recent periods.
“Changing the coach at the moment would be a crisis and would give a bad image of Al Ahly because of the frequent changes of coaches,” he said.
He also called on Al Ahly supporters to remain patient with the team, explaining that he personally would be prepared to accept losing the league title this season if that formed part of a broader process of rebuilding the team and addressing issues from last season.
