Al Ahly to decide future of Jess Thorup after SHOCKING CAF Champions League elimination

Al Ahly is poised to make a decision on the future of head coach Jess Thorup following their dramatic exit from the CAF Champions League, AfricaSoccer.com understands.

The Egyptian club suffered a 3-2 defeat to Tunisian side Esperance on Saturday evening, marking the first time in Al Ahly’s history that they have lost both legs of a Champions League knockout tie.

Multiple sources indicate that Thorup, who took over from Spanish coach Jose Riveiro, may not complete his contract this season as the team grapples with consecutive setbacks on the continental stage.

Reports suggest frustration is mounting among the club’s leadership over both the elimination and the squad’s inconsistent form under the Danish coach.

With their Champions League campaign concluded, Al Ahly now shifts focus to the Egyptian Premier League, seeking to regain momentum domestically.

Meanwhile, Esperance Sportive de Tunis will face South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns in a classic North versus South showdown in the semfinals.
