Start Time: 19:00 Cairo Local Time
Fathi Mabrouk, having proved Ahly’s rescuer on two spells during the last 15 years, is tasked with turning around their fortunes again after being given a permanent job as the team’s head coach for the first time.
The 64-year-old coach guided Ahly to the Egypt Cup title in 2003 after taking charge of the team on an interim basis just after they surrendered the league title to arch rivals Zamalek in heartbreaking fashion.
Last season, he was also appointed as a caretaker boss shortly before the league’s final phase, where the stuttering side excelled under his guidance to emerge winners from a four-team playoff and claim the title for an eighth consecutive season.
Ahly, who sacked Spanish coach Juan Garrido this term following a string of poor results, seem highly unlikely to equal their own record of winning the title nine times in a row, having fallen 11 points behind Cairo foes Zamalek.
