Egyptian sports media personality Moheb Abdel Hady sparked widespread debate after posting on his official Facebook page, where he criticized Al Ahly’s management over their dealings with sporting director Ricardo Ribeiro.

In his post, Abdel Hady wrote:
“We might as well have kept Emad El-Nahhas or Koller, if every time we speak, we’re told we can’t hold Ribeiro accountable,” referring to what he described as a lack of accountability and oversight within the club’s administrative system.
His comments come at a critical moment, just ahead of Al Ahly’s decisive encounter against FC Porto in the FIFA Club World Cup, as the team struggles with inconsistent results in the group stage.
