Al Ahly is reportedly considering the re-appointment of coach Pitso Mosimane following their recent elimination from the CAF Champions League. The club was knocked out in the quarter-finals after suffering a 4–2 aggregate defeat to Espérance de Tunis.
Current manager Jess Thorup is likely to leave his role at Al Ahly, prompting the club to evaluate potential candidates for the coaching position. Al Ahly has acknowledged that technical and administrative errors contributed to their recent performance issues.
In a statement, Al Ahly said, “We acknowledge technical and administrative errors and their consequences.” They also noted that a decisive remedy is being prepared, which will require a transitional period for optimal implementation.
Several decisions have already been made regarding the football sector at Al Ahly, indicating a shift in strategy following their disappointing campaign. The club is weighing up two potential candidates to take over the managerial role: Pitso Mosimane and Hossam El-Badry.
Pitso Mosimane previously served as the head coach of Al Ahly from 2020 to 2022, during which he led the team to an impressive six trophies in 102 games. Since leaving the club, Mosimane has been without a job for more than a year.
As Al Ahly navigates this transitional phase, the club’s leadership is focused on addressing the shortcomings that led to their recent exit from the Champions League. The decision on the next head coach is expected to be made soon, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the timeline for these developments, but the club’s commitment to rectifying past mistakes is clear.
