Al Ahly currently sits 6th in the standings with 5 point from 1 win & 2 draw prompting growing unrest among fans demanding change in leadership.
Next Match Could Decide Fate
Al Ahly faces tough clash against Pyramids FC in the upcoming round .. a game that may prove decisive for the team’s season and could determine Ribeiro’s future at the club.
A source inside Al Ahly revealed to Erem News that El Khatib's tasked sporting director Mohamed Youssef to open talks with Portuguese coach Jose Gomez, formerly of Zamalek.
Gomez previously led Zamalek to Confederation cup glory and the African Super cup defeating Al Ahly in the process.
