Al-Ahly club officials announced the appointment of Danish coach Yass Sorup as technical director for the next two seasons, succeeding Spaniard José Ribeiro, who was sacked due to poor results.
Osama Helal, Al-Ahly's contracting director, has completed the contracting process for Yass Sorup, and he will arrive in Cairo within the next few hours to officially begin his tenure with the Red Devils.
