Portuguese coach Miguel Cardoso is reportedly open to taking charge of Al Ahly should the opportunity arise, with the experienced tactician said to be unconcerned about the club’s potential absence from next season’s CAF Champions League.
According to reports, Cardoso has made it clear that the prospect of leading one of Africa’s most decorated clubs remains attractive regardless of their continental status, underlining his willingness to consider a move to Cairo if formal discussions progress.
Al Ahly’s leadership are already familiar with Cardoso’s profile and coaching credentials, having identified him as a secondary option on the club’s managerial shortlist as they continue to evaluate candidates for the position.
Cardodo has earned praise for his tactical approach and recent work in African football, making him a respected figure among decision-makers across the continent.
However, a move to Al Ahly is far from certain. Should negotiations fail to materialize into an appointment, Cardoso is expected to turn his attention back to Mamelodi Sundowns, where he is reportedly prepared to discuss improved terms and a possible contract extension.
The situation leaves the Portuguese manager with strong options on the table, while Al Ahly continue their search for the right candidate to lead the club into a new era.
With coaching decisions expected to play a crucial role in shaping ambitions for the upcoming campaign, Cardoso’s name remains one to watch closely as developments unfold in both Egypt and South Africa.
