Al-Ahly club football officials are racing against time to sign a new coach for the team to replace Ricardo Suarez, whose dismissal is announced, and the name of German coach Marco Rose returned to the fore for the second time after he was nominated before during the search for a coach to succeed Pitsu Mosimani and before contracting with Portuguese Ricardo Soares.
The biography presented to the club increased, which means that the announcement of Suarez’s successor has been postponed for a period of days, in light of the exclusion of more than one name for various reasons, especially the duo Queiroz, Wahid Halilhodzic and Christian Gross, who were at the forefront of the consultations during the last period. Al-Khatib, club president, negotiated with Gross.
Consultations returned to the starting point, as the club received the nominations of coaches from South America and others from Europe who had never worked in Egypt, the Arab region or Africa.
The trip of Hossam Ghaly, a member of Al-Ahly’s board of directors, to Germany opened the door to speculation about the name of the new Al-Ahly coach to succeed Ricardo Soares.
Hossam Ghaly began a European tour, to agree on an external camp, but some sources confirmed that the trip was related to resolving the file of the new coach, to succeed Ricardo Suarez.
The sources revealed that Ghali left Cairo Airport on a plane bound for Germany, to settle the file of the new coach after entering into negotiations with a number of names, and he also intends to arrange the camp of the foreign team in preparation for the new season, which is arranged by companies specialized in setting up camps.
Al-Ahly club is studying more than one name, including the German Marco Rose, and there are a number of names on the list after Queiroz and Khalilozic left.
The German Marco Rose, the former coach of the German team, Borussia Dortmund, is the first choice on the trip, and Ghali will present the German coach with the latest offers from Al-Ahly in the presence of a financial dispute that can be resolved.
Rose led the German Monchengladbach to qualify for the Champions League last season, and he left for Dortmund, but terminated his contract with him.
Who is Marco Rosa, the potential coach of Al-Ahly?
Marco Rose has been a defender, playing for VFB Leipzig, Hannover and Mainz.
In the last two years of Rose’s career, which ended in 2010, the player met with German Jurgen Klopp, who relied on the player many times, especially after the team’s rise to the Bundesliga.
Rose began his coaching career in his home city, where he took over the task of coaching the Lokomotiv Leipzig team, and continued with him for only one season 2012-2013, before leaving to Red Bull Salzburg to supervise the under-16 team.
In the 2016-2017 season, Rose supervised the training of the Austrian under-18 team Red Bull Salzburg, winning the League title and the UEFA Junior Champions League in his first season.
After Razoh starred with the Salzburg juniors, the administration decided to give him the confidence to train the first team in the following season, which saw Salzburg beat Dortmund and Lazio and reach the semi-finals of the European League before qualifying for the quarter-finals of the same tournament the following season.
And with the temptations to go to the German League, the coach pushed to change his destination towards Borussia Moenchengladbach at the beginning of the season before last.
Rose, the 44-year-old led Borussia Moenchengladbach to the last 16 of the Champions League, where he faced Manchester City, England, and got out in front of him, as well as very distinguished results he achieved with the team in the German League, so that Dortmund decided to sign him.
Marco Rose changed his direction from Monchengladbach to Dortmund, but he did not achieve the required successes, as he finished his season in the German League, occupying second place, 8 points behind the champion Bayern Munich, and bid farewell to the German Cup from the round of 16, and also exited from the group stage in the Champions League after occupying Third place, and failed to pass the round of 16 play-offs in the European League, so the club decided to sack him last May.
