CAF Champions League Al Ahly fans don’t know how to celebrate and enjoy record moments – Koller

Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller has called on the club’s supporters to savour their record-extending 12th CAF Champions League triumph before immediately turning their attention to the next trophy.

The Swiss tactician guided the Egyptian giants to back-to-back continental crowns with Saturday’s 1-0 win over Esperance in the final’s second leg in Cairo. However, Kohler admitted he expects demands for a CAF Champions League title to start immediately from Ahly’s insatiable fanbase.

“I know the fans will demand the 13th title for me as soon as I arrive at the residence hotel,” he said as quoted by CAFOnline after Roger Aholo’s early own goal secured victory in front of over 70,000 fans at the Cairo International Stadium.

“I’ve learned at Al Ahly that after we finish one tournament, the fans ask us about the next one, and this is not a good thing, as they don’t know how to celebrate and enjoy these moments.

“Looking for titles is a good thing, but it’s important to know how to be happy. I am like Al Ahly’s fans, hungry for titles, and my ambition is to help the team achieve more success.”

Koller, who has now won eight Egyptian and African trophies in two years at the helm, urged a sense of perspective after another historic achievement.
