Discussions are reportedly in progress to bring Dutch coach Mark van Bommel to Al Ahly in Egypt. Jess Thorup is anticipated to resign as head coach following a disappointing season for the club.
The Croatian tactician has failed to secure victory in the Egyptian Premier League and missed the opportunity to qualify for next season’s CAF Champions League. This unsatisfactory performance has prompted the management of Al Ahly to look for a new coaching leader.
Mark van Bommel has emerged as Al Ahly’s primary target for the upcoming season. The club’s management is actively engaged in negotiations with the former Dutch international, who is reportedly requesting a contract worth approximately $4.5 million to assume the managerial position in Cairo.
