Update On Tau Future At Al Ahly

Pitso Mosimane’s departure from Al Ahly had raised question marks over Percy Tau’s future but it seems the South African is set to stay with the Egyptian giants.

The Bafana Bafana international is currently injured, but close to returning to the pitch and there had been speculation about his future.

However, according to a source at the Egyptian giants, the South African is part of new coach Ricardo Soares’ plans for the club and he wants him to recover from his injury, before making any decisions.

“Percy Tau is continuing and will not leave while he is in the final stage of his rehabilitation program,” the source told Yallakora.

“Percy Tau is a very good material and does not suffer from a chronic injury, as some say, and he suffered a natural injury like any player.

“Tau was subjected to difficult pressures, but his performance will improve greatly with the new Portuguese coach, Ricardo Soares.

“There are no offers for Tau, and the Portuguese coach is waiting for the completion of his recovery program so that he has a role with the team and sees him on the field before judging him, although he is committed to staying according to what he saw earlier.”
