Egyptian Premier League: José Riveiro, new Al Ahly head coach!

José Riveiro is set to take the next big step in his career by joining Al Ahly, the African football powerhouse.

The Spanish coach is expected to arrive in Cairo this morning to finalize the last details of his move. He will officially replace Marcel Koller.

Renowned for his tactical discipline and his ability to organize his teams’ play, Riveiro left Orlando Pirates this week and arrives with the ambition of keeping Al Ahly at the summit of Egyptian and continental football.

The reigning champions are hoping to inject fresh energy into their sporting project.

A strategic turning point for Al Ahly

The 49-year-old tactician will meet iconic club president Mahmoud El Khatib this evening for a final discussion about the terms of his contract. They will also talk about assembling his technical staff, which Riveiro wants to be experienced and aligned with his footballing philosophy.

This appointment marks a strategic shift for Al Ahly, determined to strengthen their dominance on the African stage.

Supporters, for their part, have high hopes for this new chapter, which could signal the start of a promising era under the Spanish manager’s guidance.
