There are three disagreements between Riveiro and Al Ahly that separate the coach from the job

The appointment of Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro to Egypt’s Al Ahly is seen as a matter of time, but the local powerhouse is in no rush to officially announce the Spanish tactician. Egyptian club legend Ahmed Shobair has shed light on the situation.

Details: Shobair revealed that there are several minor disagreements between Riveiro and Al Ahly, none of which are financial in nature. The main sticking points concern the Spaniard’s assistants, but these could be resolved swiftly.

Quote: “Riveiro is one of the candidates for the Al Ahly manager position and he is the frontrunner, but there are certain issues separating him from taking the job. There are three disagreements between Al Ahly and Riveiro, and none of them are about finances.

One disagreement was resolved yesterday, while two remain—these are related to the assistants and authority within the staff. These issues can be settled,” Shobair said live on On Sport FM.
