Al-Ahly club officials have enlisted the help of renowned Portuguese star Nuno Gomes to select the team's new coach, after thanking Swiss coach Marcel Koller following the team's exit from the CAF Champions League semi-finals.
Al-Ahly officials have a strong relationship with Nuno Gomes, a former Portugal national team star, who has previously contributed to the selection of several foreign coaches for Al-Ahly, most notably René Weiler.
Nuno Gomes has been working in the field of player and coach marketing for some time, and Al-Ahly frequently collaborates with him on foreign deals for coaches and players. Therefore, he was enlisted in the past few hours to help select the new coach.
Nuno Gomes has a strong relationship with his compatriot Jose Gomes, the former coach of Zamalek and current coach of Al-Fateh Saudi Club. This relationship is one of the key factors Al-Ahly is leveraging in its negotiations with the former Zamalek coach.
