Al Ahly Coach Hunt: Euro Winner Snubs Egyptian Giants!
Egyptian Premier League giants, Al Ahly, are still searching for a new coach after former Portugal national team head coach, Fernando Santos, reportedly rejected an offer to take over the vacant post. The Red Devils have been without a permanent manager since Jose Riveiro's departure just three months into his tenure.
Riveiro's short stint saw the team languishing in 12th place, a far cry from the club's usual dominance. The club has been linked with several high-profile coaches, including Jose Gomes, Paulo Bento, and even Mamelodi Sundowns' Miguel Cardoso.
However, reports suggest that Santos has opted for a move to Panathinaikos in Greece, despite Al Ahly's interest. Santos famously led Portugal to victory in the 2016 Euro Championship. This leaves Al Ahly's management scrambling for alternatives.
Who's Next for Al Ahly?
Rui Vitoria, currently unattached, is also reportedly in contention for the coveted position. The pressure is on for Al Ahly to find a suitable replacement quickly and turn their season around. The fans are demanding results, and the club needs a strong leader to guide them back to the top of the Egyptian Premier League.
The search continues as Al Ahly aims to reclaim its status as a footballing powerhouse in Egypt and Africa. Will they find the right man for the job?
