The club have now decided to pull the trigger and part ways with the Spaniard ahead of the international break.
Statement:
The club thanked Mr. Jose Ribeiro, the first football team's technical director, and his assistant staff for the past period, and the contractual relationship was terminated by mutual consent.
This came after the Planning Committee's meetings attended by Captain Mahmoud El Khatib, the club's president, and Captain Mohamed Youssef, the sports director, which began at 11:00 am today and continued for several hours, during which the reports submitted by both the sports director and the technical director were discussed, and in light of which the aforementioned decision was made.
The committee, in its meeting with Jose Ribeiro, confirmed its appreciation for what he has provided since assuming responsibility, and that he has put in a lot of effort, but the results did not help to complete the experience, at a time when the club seeks to achieve the great ambitions of its fans at the local and continental levels. "
The Planning Committee continues its meetings to settle on the final vision for the technical staff that will lead the team during the next stage.
