In January, the Red Devils board of directors announced the return of  Al-Sheikh to his post. 

In a statement, Al Ahly said that its board of directors did not discuss Al Sheikh’s resignation from the position of Al-Ahly’s honorary president, which he submitted on May 25, 2018.

“Al Ahly’s board of directors did not discuss the resignation submitted by Turki Al-Sheikh from his post as Al Ahly’s honorary president on his official Facebook page since a year and a half ago,” the Red Devils said in a statement on Al Ahly’s Facebook page.

The statement asserted that Al Ahly has not either accepted resignation or sacked any of its honorary president throughout its history.

Al Ahly also expressed a desire for Al-sheikh to retain his position. It also expressed readiness to cooperate with him in the upcoming period in line with the club’s principles and vision of its board.
