Egyptian football club Al Ahly has appointed Moroccan coach Houcine Ammouta, signing him to a two-year contract. The appointment follows a disappointing season for Al Ahly, which included failing to qualify for the African Champions League. Ammouta brings a strong continental track record and a reputation for effective player management to the Cairo-based club. Club officials highlighted his ability to directly connect with players as a key factor in their decision. He faces the challenge of rebuilding team morale and restoring Al Ahly’s competitive edge. The move signals a strategic effort to reinvigorate the club’s sporting cycle after a period of instability.
