Al Ahly’s search for a new head coach appears to have entered its final stages, with Moroccan coach Hussein Amouta moving closer to taking charge of the first football team next season. The potential appointment comes after the end of Danish coach Jess Thorup’s spell, following his departure by mutual consent.

Al Ahly, who quickly began reorganizing their technical plans for the new season, studied several names over the past period before Amouta’s chances strongly increased. His wide experience in Arab and African football, along with his ability to deal with major tournaments and heavy fan pressure, made him a serious option for a club that only accepts competing for every title.

According to circulating reports, negotiations between Al Ahly and the Moroccan coach have reached a very advanced stage, with only a few final details remaining before the contract is officially signed. These details include some contractual clauses, as well as finalizing the structure of the technical staff that will work with Amouta in his expected mission at the Red Castle.

An Agreement Nearing Completion

The talk about Amouta is no longer just a passing nomination. It has become a serious file inside Al Ahly, especially after the club evaluated a number of coaching profiles. The management is looking for a coach capable of restoring technical discipline to the team and leading a new phase after a season full of ups and downs in both results and performances.

Reports suggest that Amouta’s contract with Al Ahly could run for two seasons, with special terms related to the second season and its continuation by mutual agreement. There have also been reports of a significant monthly salary for the coach and his staff, along with a release clause included in the deal, which shows that negotiations have entered the financial and legal details before any official announcement.

Choosing Amouta carries more than one meaning. The Moroccan coach has a strong résumé in the region, having previously coached Wydad Casablanca, Al Sadd, and the Jordan national team, in addition to other experiences that gave him valuable knowledge in managing big clubs and national teams. He also understands the nature of continental competition, which is an important point for Al Ahly, a club that always places the CAF Champions League among its top priorities.

A New Bet at a Difficult Time

Al Ahly are not only searching for a new head coach, but for a strong personality capable of restoring control on the pitch and building a more balanced team ahead of a crowded season full of challenges. For that reason, betting on Amouta seems logical in terms of experience and character. However, it will also be a tough test for a coach who knows that working at Al Ahly does not offer much time, and that results are expected from day one.

Al Ahly fans are waiting for the official announcement to end the debate, especially as the new coach file has become one of the hottest topics in Egyptian football over the past few hours. Until the club makes its final statement, Amouta remains the closest name to leading the next phase, pending the signing of contracts and the opening of a new chapter at Al Jazira.

If the agreement is completed, Al Ahly will be heading into a different beginning with a Moroccan coach known for his clear personality and rich experience. Meanwhile, Amouta will be facing a challenge of his own: leading a club that is used to standing on podiums and does not accept half-successes.
