Swiss coach Marcel Koller will lead Al Ahly in a crucial match against Ceramica at Cairo International Stadium tonight at 9 PM. This match, postponed from the 19th round of the Egyptian Premier League, is pivotal for Al Ahly's title ambitions.
Koller's Al Ahly is on a winning streak, having secured 16 consecutive victories. This impressive run is part of their strategy to clinch the league title in the final stages of the season. On the other side, Ceramica, led by Ayman El Ramadi, will be seeking a positive result against the reigning champions.
Al Ahly's current streak of 16 consecutive wins under Koller matches the club's previous best runs under Hossam El Badry in the 2017-2018 season and René Weiler in the 2019-2020 season. Koller is now just one win away from equaling the legendary Portuguese coach Manuel José's record of 17 consecutive wins, set in the 2004-2005 season.
Since taking over as head coach, Marcel Koller has led Al Ahly in 114 matches, winning 82, drawing 22, and losing 10. Under his leadership, the team has scored 217 goals, conceded 74, and kept 66 clean sheets. The team's biggest victory came against Baladeyet El Mahalla with a scoreline of 5-1, while their heaviest defeat was a 5-2 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Koller has already secured seven titles with Al Ahly, including three Egyptian Super Cups, two Egypt Cups, two CAF Champions League titles, one Egyptian Premier League title, and a bronze medal at the FIFA Club World Cup.
