Shobier: Emad El Nahhas’ Departure From Al Masry Was Premature and Unfair to Ahmed Samy 🔥
Former Egyptian football star and media personality Ahmed Shobier criticized Al Masry’s decision to dismiss Emad El Nahhas after the club suffered a third consecutive defeat in the Egyptian Premier League, with two of those losses coming under current coach Ahmed Samy.
Shobier believes the coaching change was made far too early and that the results following El Nahhas’ departure strengthened the argument that the decision was not sufficiently studied, while also pointing out that Ahmed Samy was placed in a difficult position from the moment he took over.
Shobier: El Nahhas’ Departure Was a Rushed Decision 📢
Ahmed Shobier said in radio comments: “All respect to Ahmed Samy, but it has become beyond doubt that Al Masry’s decision to part ways with Emad El Nahhas was rushed, hasty and reckless.”
He added: “The decision was premature and it will be unfair to Ahmed Samy because he walked from the heat into the fire. Al Masry have dropped to 10th place after winning their first two matches and then losing three.”
Shobier pointed out that Al Masry started the campaign positively before losing several points, which quickly affected their position in the league standings.
Ahmed Samy Faces a Difficult Situation
Shobier stressed that his criticism was not directed personally at Ahmed Samy, but rather at the timing of the managerial change, explaining that the new coach took charge under difficult circumstances after the team had made a positive start.
“Decisions should not be made in haste or through rushing. There needs to be calm and proper study for them to succeed. What happened was a serious mistake, and they are paying the price for it, while Ahmed Samy is paying the price with them,” Shobier said.
His comments place greater focus on Al Masry’s management and its decision-making process, particularly after the team moved away from the leading positions following its promising start.
Shobier Discusses Khaled Galal’s Start at Ghazl El Mahalla ⚽
Ahmed Shobier also discussed Ghazl El Mahalla as the club prepares for its first match under new head coach Khaled Galal against Zamalek.
Shobier explained that Khaled Galal spoke about restoring Ghazl El Mahalla’s former glory when he took charge, but noted that the club’s current circumstances are different from previous eras when the team had greater resources and support.
“Khaled Galal, the new Ghazl El Mahalla manager, will play his first match against Zamalek. When he took charge, the first thing he said was that his goal was to restore Ghazl El Mahalla’s glory,” Shobier said.
He added: “I would say that there is no talk of glory at the moment for many reasons. Your clear objective is to keep the team in the Premier League.”
Ghazl El Mahalla Have a Clear Objective This Season 🏆
Shobier stressed that maintaining Ghazl El Mahalla’s place in the Premier League is the most realistic objective at this stage, explaining that the club’s current situation differs from the past, when greater resources were directed toward the football team.
“In the past, all the resources were dedicated to the team, unlike the current situation. The same applies to Al Mokawloon Al Arab,” he said.
Shobier’s comments come ahead of Khaled Galal’s first match in charge against Zamalek, with Ghazl El Mahalla looking to improve their results and move away from the bottom of the league standings.
Shobier: Ghazl El Mahalla Are a Special Supporters’ Club ⭐
Shobier concluded his comments by discussing the unique position Ghazl El Mahalla holds in Egyptian football, highlighting the club’s strong fan base and its historical connection with titles and achievements.
“Ghazl El Mahalla is the only club that we can describe as a company club, a city club and a supporters’ club. The fans love it despite the presence of Baladeyet El Mahalla, especially after the club won several titles in the past,” Shobier said.
Khaled Galal’s task in the coming period will be focused on improving Ghazl El Mahalla’s position in the league table, while Ahmed Samy faces a major challenge to restore positive results at Al Masry following the team’s recent losing streak.
