Al Ahly coach Ricardo Soares refused to answer questions in a press conference after Wednesday night’s win, amid talks of his sacking.
The Club of the Century beat ENPPI 2-0 but there has been talk of a board meeting, where the club’s leadership would discuss Soares’ future.
Reports stated the Al Ahly leadership would be ready to sack Soares at the end of the current campaign after mixed results since taking over from Pitso Mosimane, including a loss in the Egyptian Cup final to bitter rivals Zamalek, who also defend their league title.
Despite Wednesday’s win, Soares wasn’t in the mood to answer any questions from journalists in the post-match press conference.
“I apologise for not wanting to answer any questions at the moment. I respect your work but I will not answer questions today,” Soares said, as per Kingfut.
“We played a game every three days and almost every senior player is not here with us because of many injuries, and we have a number of young players to prepare for the future.
“The club officials made it clear before that there were refereeing errors that affected us and our progress this season.
“I don’t want to make excuses, but in normal circumstances, Al Ahly can win everything next season. Good night.”
