Morocco: Ammouta urges Al Ahly players to ignore contract talks and focus on football

Moroccan coach Hussein Ammouta has reportedly asked Al Ahly to put ongoing contract renewal discussions on hold as he seeks to keep the squad focused on upcoming matches.

According to Egyptian news outlet Eram News, Ammouta wants the club’s players to concentrate on their football rather than being distracted by negotiations over their futures.

The report says Ammouta has requested that the renewal file be temporarily closed and that the players focus on their technical work and upcoming challenges.

The Moroccan coach is reportedly expected to tell the squad not to become preoccupied with contract negotiations during the coming period.

The move is said to be aimed at creating a calmer environment within the dressing room and avoiding what the report described as a state of “chaos” surrounding the ongoing contract discussions.

Ammouta reportedly believes that keeping the players focused on their performances will help the team prepare properly for its upcoming fixtures.

Mohamed Hany and Yasser Ibrahim contracts

The report comes amid continued uncertainty surrounding the futures of Mohamed Hany and Yasser Ibrahim.

According to Eram News, the two players have become among the most debated contract cases at Al Ahly after the club’s management closed the door to further negotiations based on the offers previously presented.

The report says the club has not responded to additional demands made by the two players.

Ammouta’s reported decision therefore comes as Al Ahly attempt to keep contract matters from affecting preparations and the team’s performances on the pitch.
