Portuguese coach Bruno Lage not interested in Al Ahly job amid coaching speculation

Portuguese coach Bruno Lage have dismissed recent reports linking him with a move to Egyptian giants Al Ahly SC, clarifying that he has no plans to take charge of the club at this stage of his career.

The 48-year-old has recently been mentioned in media reports as a potential candidate for the Al Ahly managerial position, as the club continues its search for a new technical director. However, those close to the former Benfica coach have now moved to settle speculation surrounding his future.

According to the sources, Lage is not currently considering a move to the Egyptian Premier League, with a coaching stint in Egypt not part of his immediate professional plans.

Interest and speculation around Al Ahly’s next managerial appointment have intensified in recent days, with several high-profile names being linked to the job as discussions continue behind the scenes.

Despite the rumours, the message from Lage’s camp remains firm: a move to Egypt is not under consideration for now, effectively ruling him out of the running for the position.

Al Ahly, meanwhile, continue to evaluate multiple candidates as they look to finalise the appointment of a new head coach in the coming period, with the club expected to make a decision after reviewing a range of profiles and proposals.
