Al Ahly head coach, Marcel Koller, emphasized that the club will not make any new signings unless specific circumstances arise.
Al Ahly secured a 3-0 victory over Gor Mahia in the second leg of the CAF Champions League Round of 32, advancing to the group stage.
Speaking to OnTime Sports during the league title celebration, Koller stated: “As of now, we won’t add any new players during this transfer window unless an urgent situation occurs.
“Since I joined Al Ahly, fans have been fully focused on the finals, especially the cup match against Zamalek, which is understandable.
“Last season, we played many matches and, in the end, we won four titles, which is a great achievement.
“We were under pressure to win every match in the league last season, and this gave each game significant importance.
“The team performed excellently and showed their true character in many matches, which makes me proud of the players.
“Predicting who will win a cup is tough, but with Al Ahly’s status and history, the club is always a contender for titles every year.
“The players followed the coaching staff’s instructions well, which is why we were able to win the league
He also expressed his satisfaction with Al Ahly’s goalkeepers, saying: “I’m very pleased with our goalkeepers, Mohamed El Shenawy and Mostafa Shobier. Both performed excellently and deserve national team call-ups. We now have two top-level goalkeepers.”
In closing, Koller explained: “It was very difficult for young players to get opportunities with the first team, so sending them on loan to gain experience is crucial instead of keeping them on the team without playing time.”
