Official: Jose Ribeiro leaves Al Ahly after just 7 matches in charge
Egyptian side Al Ahly has announced the end of its collaboration with head coach Jose Ribeiro. The Spanish manager departs the club after just a few months at the helm due to unsatisfactory results.
According to the official statement, the decision was made following a meeting of the club’s Planning Committee, attended by president Mahmoud El-Khatib and sporting director Mohamed Youssef. The meeting reviewed reports from the coaching staff and management, after which both parties agreed to terminate the contract by mutual consent.
Al Ahly extended its gratitude to Ribeiro and his assistants for their efforts and commitment to the team, but emphasized that the results achieved did not meet the club’s ambitions. Ribeiro’s final match at the helm of the Red Devils took place on Saturday, August 30, when the reigning Egyptian champions fell to Pyramids (0–2).
Under Ribeiro’s guidance, Al Ahly played just 7 matches in the Premier League and the FIFA Club World Cup, securing only one win, four draws, and two defeats.
