Mohamed Shawky has also been named as a coach, while Michel Iannacone will continue in his role as goalkeeping coach until a new foreign head coach is appointed in the coming period.

Al Ahly was recently eliminated from the CAF Champions League at the semifinal stage after a 1-1 draw in Cairo on Friday evening in the second leg, following a goalless draw in the first leg in South Africa. The team is now preparing for its upcoming match against Petrojet, scheduled for 8 PM next Wednesday, in the third round of the Egyptian Premier League title-deciding phase.
