Ahly will be hoping to give a better displays as they face Smouha in a top-of-table Group A clash of the Egyptian Premier League in their first game under interim manager Fathi Mabrouk.
“I have to thank the former technical staff for helping Ahly in this tough period. This position is not unfamiliar to me, and I’m determined to steer the club beyond the upcoming tough games,” Mabrouk said on the club’s official website.
Smouha, who are managed by former Egypt assistant coach Hamada Sedki, have been inconsistent recently despite an impressive start to their league campaign.
“I don’t think Ahly will be negatively affected by the change of coach. Mabrouk is a veteran manager who can help the club maintain its status,” Sedki said.
Ahly will miss midfielder Shehab Ahmed through injury and striker Raouf through suspension. Smouha have no injury worries ahead of the game.
