Ahead of a crucial showdown against Pyramids, Al Ahly are considering important defensive adjustments as the technical staff looks to strengthen the back line for one of the season’s biggest matches.
Emerging Defensive Partnership
Yasser Ibrahim and Yassine Merahi are close to starting together in central defence, as head coach Jess Thorup reportedly sees them as the most compatible duo at this stage.
The decision comes as part of efforts to improve defensive stability against a strong attacking opponent like Pyramids.
Transfer Rumours Denied
Meanwhile, reports linking the club with former Zamalek coach Jose Gomez have been denied internally, with sources confirming that no negotiations are currently taking place.
The club remains fully focused on the remaining league fixtures and the title race.
Coaching Future Uncertain
It is also expected that the current head coach’s tenure may end after the season, with the club reportedly preparing to activate a contract termination clause following disappointing results.
Conclusion
Al Ahly are entering a decisive phase both on and off the pitch, as tactical changes and long-term decisions loom large ahead of a high-stakes encounter with Pyramids.
