Al Ahly have sacked Jose Riveiro after just three months in charge of the Egyptian giants.
Riveiro’s final match with Al Ahly ended in a 2-0 defeat to Pyramids on Saturday evening. The Red Devils suffered their first defeat of the season and found themselves 12th place in the league standings of the Egyptian Premier League after four matches.
On Sunday, the club announced that the former Orlando Pirates head coach’s contract was terminated by mutual consent.
“The club thanked Mr. José Ribeiro, the technical director of the first football team and his assory for the past period, and the contractual relationship was terminated by mutual consent,” the club shared in a statement.
Jose Riveiro sacked after three months
“This came after the meetings of the Planning Committee in the presence of Captain Mahmoud Al-Khatib, President of the club, and Captain Mohammed Youssef, Sports Director, which began at eleven this morning and lasted several hours, during which the reports submitted by the sports director and the technical director were discussed, and in the light of which the aforementioned decision came.”
Jose Riveiro only won once in four league matches
“In its session with José Ribeiro, the committee confirmed its appreciation for what he has done since taking office, and that he made a lot of effort, but the results did not help to complete the experience, at a time when the club seeks to achieve the great ambitions of its fans at the local and continental levels. The Planning Committee continues its meetings to settle on the final concept of the technical body that will lead the team during the next phase,” the statement concluded.
Where will Riveiro go next?
