Al Ahly've announced the departure of Spanish coach Jose Riveiro ending his contract by mutual agreement after only 3 month in charge.

The decision came swiftly following the team’s 2 - 0 league defeat to Pyramids on Matchday 5.

Riveiro’s short spell in numbers

The Spaniard oversaw just 7 official game:

His team scored 10 goal, conceded 11 and kept 2 clean sheet.

Why did Al Ahly act so fast?

Despite dominating friendly matches, Riveiro’s side lacked consistency in official competitions. The poor World cup run and the costly league loss to Pyramids convinced the board to move on quickly.

Al Ahly're expected to announce foreign successor soon. Reports have ruled out Xavi Hernandez with other candidates from Portugal & Germany now under review.
