Tarek Soliman, former goalkeeper coach of Al Ahly, has become a strong candidate to rejoin the club’s new coaching staff following the expected changes in the technical team and the decision to part ways with Swiss coach Marcel Koller.
According to sources, Tarek Soliman’s chances of returning as the club’s goalkeeper coach have risen following the decision to part ways with current coach Michel Yancon, who had joined the team alongside Swiss coach Rene Weiler. This move aligns with the new technical staff’s direction.

Tarek Soliman, who is considered one of the key figures in Al Ahly's goalkeeper coaching history, has an advantage in returning to this role due to his successful experience working with the team’s goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy and Mostafa Shobeir during his previous tenure at the club before his departure in 2019. His return to the coaching staff is seen as a significant step, especially given his previous achievements with the goalkeepers and his success in improving their performance during his time in charge.

Soliman was an integral part of the coaching staff under Hossam El-Badry, achieving notable successes with the team. His tenure saw significant improvements in the goalkeepers' performance, making his return to this position a valuable opportunity to further develop the next generation of Al Ahly goalkeepers, especially Mohamed El-Shenawy.

At the same time, all eyes are on the new chapter in Al Ahly’s history, with the impending arrival of Spanish coach Jose Rivero, the current manager of South Africa's Orlando Pirates. He is expected to land in Cairo in the coming hours to finalize the deal. Both parties are anticipated to agree on the contract duration, salary, and other details, paving the way for a fresh start at the club.

Many followers are eagerly awaiting the club’s next moves, particularly the changes in the technical staff, which will likely include the appointment of Tarek Soliman as goalkeeper coach. This move would provide a significant morale boost to the team’s goalkeepers.

Without a doubt, Soliman’s return would be a strong addition to the team, given his vast experience working with top-level goalkeepers and his deep understanding of Al Ahly's needs and its fanbase. This step is part of the club's strategy to return to the top of both local and continental competitions, alongside forming a coaching team capable of achieving the team's ambitious goals in the future.

As Al Ahly continues to work on ensuring the technical staff changes are a positive step towards restoring the club’s glory, the club’s supporters remain eagerly awaiting the official announcements that will shape the future of the club under Spanish coach Jose Rivero.
