Swiss coach Marcel Koller, the head of Al Ahly’s football team, appears to have made decisive choices, opting to part ways with three players in one fell swoop during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Koller, in a meeting with Al Ahly’s board after the Club World Cup, addressed key issues, with the summer transfer market taking center stage.
1. Mahmoud Metwally (A Burden on the Team)
The Swiss coach, Marcel Koller, perceives the presence of veteran defender Mahmoud Metwally as a burden on the team.
Before departing for his annual vacation in Switzerland during the current break, Koller informed Al Ahly officials of his lack of need for Metwally’s contributions, urging the club to either sell him outright or consider a loan.
During discussions about Mahmoud Metwally, Koller questioned, “How can a player play only 54 matches in 4 years?” The Swiss coach urged the management to investigate the real reason behind the player’s recurring injuries.
Despite Al Ahly offering Mahmoud Metwally as part of a deal for Omar Kamal Abdelwahed, VfL Bochum officials declined to acquire the player.
2. Salah Mohsen (Scoring Drought)
The second player, striker Salah Mohsen, has struggled to make an impact since his return from loan at Ceramica Cleopatra before the start of the current season.
Despite receiving opportunities from Marcel Koller, his departure from the team is now sought after by the Al Ahly coach in the upcoming summer transfer market.
3. Mohamed Krsito (Not Living Up to Expectations)
The third player, Tunisian Mohamed Krsito, has been definitively excluded from Marcel Koller’s plans at Al Ahly this season.
This decision comes after a full year since his transfer from Tunisian club, Etoile du Sahel, in a deal previously requested by Koller.
The forthcoming summer transfer window for Al Ahly promises significant changes, with Koller’s strategic decisions shaping the team’s future.
The departure of these three players marks a turning point for the club, and fans await the coach’s next moves to strengthen the squad for future challenges.
