Former Al Ahly star, Ahmed Abou-Mosalem, has questioned the rationale behind the appointment of Jose Riveiro as the new head coach of the club.
The Egyptian giants are on the verge of appointing Riveiro as Marcel Koller’s successor.
Riveiro parted ways with the Buccaneers on Tuesday after guiding the side to record a 3-0 win over Golden Arrows at the Orlando Stadium.
However, Abou-Mosalem has insisted that Riveiro lacks experience, which makes him an unsuitable leader for the club.
“This choice isn’t the most appropriate for me, and I would have liked to see a coach with extensive experience take over,” Abou-Mosalem said per Iq.iqraa.news.
“Al Ahly is a big team with a high market value, and we should look for a strong coach with a well-known name in the coaching world,” he added.
As revealed by AfricaSoccer.com, Jose Riveiro will arrive in Cairo today to wrap up his move to the club.
The Spanish coach and his backroom staff have been offered a 135,000 USD as monthly salary, almost half of Koller’s salary during his spell at the club.
