New Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller says he wants to win everything with the club after replacing Ricardo Soares.
Koller, 61, was announced as new Al Ahly coach on Friday after Pitso Mosimane successor Soares had been sacked following just 17 games in charge.
The Swiss coach, who has coached in Switzerland and Germany before, while also being in charge of the Austrian national team, will be unveiled to the media on Monday but had his first interview with the club’s media team.
The new Al Ahly coach now revealed his goal is to “win everything” with the club which has a huge history of lifting silverware.
“As a coach, I have a great experience,” he said.

“I have been working in this field for a while, and I have a great passion for it. I gained a lot of experience through my work with clubs in Switzerland and Germany, and with the Austrian national team. I love this job and have great enthusiasm for it.”
“Coaching Al Ahly is like a new challenge for me, and I want to win it. Working with a team like Al Ahly is a great opportunity for me. I want to win the CAF Champions League title and all the local championships. My goal is to win everything with Al Ahly.”
“Winning trophies requires a lot of effort and work, and I am confident that the players will do everything possible to win.”
“I always tell the players to show respect, put on a good performance, and focus. Also, they must develop their passing styles and press quickly to recover the ball when they lose it. The team will accomplish this by putting the opponent under constant pressure.”
So far, Koller has won two trophies as manager, the Swiss Championship with St Gallen in 1999/2000 and the Swiss Cup in 2018/19 with Basel.
