Al Ahly Board Member: Pitso Was Different, But Koller Is Better

Al Ahly Board Member: Pitso Was Different, But Koller Is Better

Pitso Mosimane (South Africa, Al Ahly)

An Al Ahly board member claims that current head coach Marcel Koller is "much better" than previous coach Pitso Mosimane.

Koller has been in charge since September after taking over from Ricardo Soares, who only lasted a few months.

The Red Devils currently sit top of the Egyptian Premier League table, but are facing elimination in the CAF Champions League group stages under the Swiss coach.

Mosimane had a successful spell in Cairo, where he won he made it to three successive Champions League finals, winning two of those while he also won two CAF Super Cups and the Egypt Cup.

"As a fan, I see that Al Ahly has a very good team, and it has the best coach that came to Egypt since Manuel Jose, and his technical staff is exceptional.

"Pitso Mosimane was different, but Koller is much better than him.

"Mosimane achieved titles, but Al Ahly's performances dropped massively during his last period. There were no adequate training sessions with the South African coach.

"I don't want to talk more about Mosimane's negatives. He won us many trophies and we should respect him for that. He is one of the best coaches."

He continued, "Koller is a different school in many matters, including thought, and all the managers that took charge of Al Ahly were respectable.

"Marcel Koller among his specialties is to follow up on the youth team and he is focusing on this as we saw players from the youth team who participated with the first team lately," he added.

Mosimane also collected two bronze medals the FIFA Club World Cup, while Al Ahly failed to make it to semi-finals this year under Koller.
