Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly has parted ways with head coach Marcel Koller after the side failed to advance to the CAF Champions League final on Friday.
Ahly failed to defend their title after being eliminated by Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg on Friday night via the away-goals rule at the Cairo International Stadium.
As revealed earlier by AfricaSoccer.com, the club held meetings on Saturday to determine the future of Koller after their painful elimination.
The Swiss tactician won the CAF Champions League twice, while he also guided Al Ahly to two Egyptian Premier League titles.
“Negotiations are ongoing with Koller to terminate the contract by mutual consent, in a manner befitting the club and its coach,” a club statement read on Saturday evening.
“Al-Ahly confirms its pride in what Koller has achieved, as he gave everything he could along with his assistant staff, who also deserve thanks.”
Al Ahly now shifts its focus to the Egyptian Premier League, where they are currently in second place with 40 points.
