Urgent Decisions at Al-Ahly: El-Khatib to Meet After Shocking Defeat

Mahmoud El-Khatib, chairman of the board of directors of Al-Ahly SC, is holding an urgent meeting today to discuss the repercussions of the painful defeat against Pyramids, 2-0, in the fifth round of the Nile League. This meeting comes amid growing fan anger over the team's declining performance and results since the start of the season.

According to sources within the club, three crucial and "fiery" decisions are expected to be made during the meeting to correct the course and save the season before it's too late.

3 Key Decisions on El-Khatib's Agenda

1. Strict Penalties for Players: The first-team players will face severe financial and administrative penalties. This is a direct response to their consistently poor performance and lack of fighting spirit and commitment on the field, especially in the recent match against Pyramids.

2. Sacking the Head Coach: The contract of the Spanish head coach, Jose Ribeiro, is expected to be terminated. The board believes he has failed to deliver the expected results or establish a clear tactical identity for the team. The continued negative results over several rounds confirm the need for a change.

3. Appointing a New Coach: The club will immediately begin the process of appointing a new coach to lead the team. They will review several resumes of candidates capable of restoring the team to its usual high standard and competing strongly for both domestic and continental titles.

These anticipated decisions are a response to the demands of Al-Ahly fans, who have expressed their anger on social media and called on the management to take immediate action to halt the performance decline and save the team's season.
