Tension Brews Between Al Ahly Coach and Star Striker

Reports suggest that tension is mounting between Al Ahly head coach Marcel Koller and star striker Kahraba, reminiscent of a previous situation involving Pitso Mosimane and the team’s main striker.

Al Ahly is preparing to face Baladiyat El Mahalla SC in the Egyptian Premier League amid recent reports of strained relations between Kahraba and Koller.

Kahraba was notably absent from the matchday squad in the CAF Champions League encounter against Medeama, with technical director Khaled Bebo attributing this to ‘technical reasons’.

According to Kooora, the rift between the Egypt international and his Swiss coach mirrors the discord that led to Kahraba’s loan move to Hatayspor in Turkey when Mosimane was at the helm of Al Ahly.

While Kahraba has received substantial playing time under Koller, the coach’s authority to potentially offload the striker seems to be in question, with players like Wessam Abou-Ali and Anthony Modeste now taking precedence in the attack.

Such developments hint at a parallel between Koller’s current dynamic with Kahraba and the previous clash under Mosimane’s tenure as head of the Club of the Century.
