Mohsen Saleh Reveals Amouta’s on Deciding Al Ahly Departures Ahead of New Season
Mohsen Saleh confirmed that Moroccan head coach Hussein Amouta needs enough time to evaluate Al Ahly players before making final decisions regarding potential departures, stressing that the preparation period alone is not enough for a complete assessment.
⚽ Mohsen Saleh: Amouta Needs Time Before Deciding Al Ahly Departures
Former Al Ahly Planning Committee chairman Mohsen Saleh shared his view on how Moroccan head coach Hussein Amouta should handle the process of evaluating the team’s players during the preparation period for the new season.
Mohsen Saleh explained that the current pre-season preparations will not be enough for Amouta to build a complete opinion about all Al Ahly players or make final decisions regarding the names that could leave the squad in the upcoming period.
He pointed out that the Moroccan coach needs more time to fully understand the abilities of each player, as evaluating footballers does not depend only on technical skills but also includes several other important factors that require continuous observation. ⭐
Saleh added that a talented player may attract attention through individual ability and technical quality, but other aspects such as commitment, mentality, fighting spirit, and physical readiness are equally important and require a longer evaluation period before making final decisions.
🔍 Player Evaluation Requires a Complete Vision
Mohsen Saleh emphasized that the new Al Ahly coach must have enough opportunities to watch players in different situations, whether during training sessions or friendly matches, in order to identify the team’s needs accurately.
He stressed that making early judgments about certain players could be unfair, especially considering the different circumstances of each player and their level of physical and technical readiness at the beginning of the season.
Saleh explained that Amouta has significant coaching experience, and it is natural for him to carefully study the available squad before making any changes, with the aim of building a team capable of competing for trophies.
