The Buccaneers' management revealed that the Spanish tactician will get the chance to travel to Egypt to join Al Ahly officially and complete the process after the Golden Arrows' final Betway Premiership match of the season on Saturday.

The Spanish coach was set to leave the team at the end of the season, but a change of plans and a reversal of fortune saw his departure announced weeks before the end of the season.

The Spaniard enjoyed a successful spell with the South African side, winning five titles, including three consecutive MTN 8 titles.

Details of the new coach's contract with the Egyptian giants!

Al-Ahly have finally found their man after the departure of Swiss coach Marcel Collier, and press reports revealed the details of the contract for the first time, including statements from reliable journalist Micky Jnr, who indicated that the Spanish coach signed a two-year contract with the highest salary in Africa.

Micky Jnr has announced on X that Spanish coach Jose Riveiro will become the new head coach of Al Ahly. Negotiations between the two parties reportedly began in February. Riveiro is expected to lead the Egyptian giants at the upcoming Club World Cup in the USA next month.

According to the report, Riveiro will become the highest-paid manager in Africa, signing a two-year contract with an option to extend for an additional year. He will be joined by a five-member backroom staff, marking a major overhaul for the club.

This move signals a bold new direction for Al Ahly as they prepare for a fresh chapter under Riveiro’s leadership.
