Al Ahly Eyeing Ramon Diaz: Riveiro Replacement Identified! Shocking Move?
Egyptian giants Al Ahly are reportedly moving swiftly to find a replacement for Jose Riveiro, who was recently sacked after a mere four games into the Egyptian Premier League season. The Red Devils' decision to part ways with the Spanish coach came after a disappointing start to the league campaign, managing only one win in their opening four matches.
According to ESPN Brazil, Al Ahly have made an offer to Argentine coach Ramon Diaz to take over the reins. Diaz is currently managing Paraguayan professional outfit Club Olimpia, where he has been in charge since the beginning of the season.
The report further states that Al Ahly are awaiting a response from Diaz and his son Emiliano, who serves as his assistant coach at Olimpia. Diaz boasts a long and varied coaching career, having managed teams in Argentina, England, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, he also previously managed Al Ahly's rivals, Pyramids FC.
What's Next for Al Ahly?
The potential appointment of Ramon Diaz could signal a new era for Al Ahly. His experience across different continents and his previous stint in Egyptian football with Pyramids FC could prove invaluable. However, securing his services won't be easy, as he is currently under contract with Club Olimpia.
Key Challenges for the New Coach
- Revitalizing the team after a shaky start to the season.
- Integrating new players and establishing a cohesive playing style.
- Meeting the high expectations of Al Ahly fans.
The coming days will be crucial as Al Ahly awaits Diaz's decision. This move could significantly impact the Egyptian Premier League landscape.
