Al Ahly Told Sack 'Unqualified' Riveiro

Al Ahly Told Sack 'Unqualified' Riveiro

Al Ahly have been urged to sack head coach Jose Riveiro after just three games in the Egyptian Premier League this season.

Riveiro has only managed to secure one win in Al Ahly's opening three Premier League games this campaign.

Al Ahly also failed to secure a win at the FIFA Club World Cup in June, where Riveiro was in charge of the club.

Former Al Ahly star Ahmed Abu Muslim feels Riveiro is not suited to coach the Club of the Century.

"Certainly, a close loss is better than a long win. This coach is not qualified to lead Al Ahly, and his statements confirm this.

"The team tied with Modern Sport, and the coach went to the media to confirm that a draw is better than a defeat."

Abu Muslim claims says the pressure from the Al Ahly supporters is bigger than the pressure Riveiro faced at Orlando Pirates.

Football is different in South Africa. Orlando City doesn't have the same fan pressure as Al Ahly.

"The aesthetics of football there are more important than winning titles.

"Orlando has reached the CAF Champions League final at most twice throughout its history, while Al Ahly is required to qualify for the final and win every edition."
