Egypt Fans Mock Al Ahly Management After Losing Egtyp Cup To Rivals Zamalek

Al Ahly fans have not easily accepted the departure of coach Pitso Mosimane from the Cairo-based club. And they have called for the return of the South African manager after several disastrous results. And the loss to bitter rivals Zamalek in the Egypt Cup final on Thursday night was one too many.

Zamalek was leading the game 2-0 within 30 minutes, thanks to goals by Ahmed Sayed Zizo and Imam Ashour. Al Ahly have regained their composure in the second half and Hossam Hassan pulled one back in the 55th minute. But that was no more than a consolation goal.

In the end, it was a painful loss for the side who said goodbye to Mosimane last month.

Since his departure, Al Ahly have lost twice and drawn twice in seven games in the Egyptian league, taking 11 points out of a possible 21.

Pitso and Al Ahly both raced up the Twitter trends list after the Zamalek loss, with some laughing at the Egyptian club’s misfortune since Mosimane left, and others asking him to return.

However, Mosimane earlier told an apologetic fan they should not regret his departure from the team.

My brother, please do not regret my departure. Al Ahly did not fire me or push me to go. I have big respect for president [Mahmoud El-]Khatib and the entire board, including all the supporters of Al Ahly. I will always cherish all our trophy celebrations.” He said.

Mosimane further explained his decision to leave the team saying he needed rest but added sarcastic comment on his successor Ricardo Soares.

I have memories and archives (banners, chants of me at the stadiums). Unfortunately, I decided to come home. I needed this rest with my family. You now have an experienced European coach everybody should support. And I believe he will leave the jersey at a higher place than he got it.” he said.
