Marcel Koller was a better coach than Pitso Mosimane – Former Al Ahly star Hossam Hassan

Former Al Ahly striker Hossam Hassan has hailed Marcel Koller as a more effective coach than Pitso Mosimane during his time at the Egyptian giants.

Mosimane, who took over in 2020, led the club to two CAF Champions League titles, two CAF Super Cups, and an Egypt Cup over a two-year tenure.

Koller succeeded Ricardo Soares in 2022, following a brief and disappointing spell under the Portuguese coach, and went on to win ten trophies in three years, including two Champions League titles.

Hassan singled out Koller’s period at Al Ahly as the more rewarding experience for players.

“With Mosimane, things were going well at the beginning, but the handling wasn’t the best. I don’t know the reason. I was training well, but I see that the Koller period is better.”

“My choice was because (Koller) came after a period of failure where Al Ahly had a zero season, and we succeeded in correcting the situation by winning the league, the Egypt Cup, the Super Cup, and the African Champions League.”
