'Al Ahly Must Sack Their Coach Before Downs Clash'

'Al Ahly Must Sack Their Coach Before Downs Clash'

Al Ahly have been urged to sacked head coach Marcel Koller ahead of the CAF Champions League semi-finals against Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Red Devils could only manage a 1-1 draw against Pyramids FC in the Egyptian Premier League on Saturday evening.

The draw leaves Al Ahly four points behind league leaders Pyramids, but club legend Taha Ismail has called for the coach to leave after some disappointing performances this season.

"Al-Ahly played one of the worst matches in their history," Ismail said, as per Kooora.

"It would have been better for the coach to change the style of play, switching to three defenders, while strengthening the offensive side.

"Kohler's management style contributed to the departure of some players, or their decline in performance, such as Aliou Dieng, Hamdi Fathi, Ahmed Abdelkader, and Mohamed Sherif.

"Now is the best time for Koller to leave, as he has nothing to offer Al Ahly against Sundowns in the CAF Champions League semi-final."

"Kohler must be ousted and a new coach must be hired. He will give the team a morale boost before facing Sundowns and begin serious preparations for the Club World Cup."

"Kohler's history should not be overlooked. Any coach can win titles with Al Ahly, and local coaches have previously won the CAF Champions League with the team."
