Al Ahly Club achieved a perfect start in terms of results, winning their first three matches in the current season of the Egyptian Premier League, securing a full set of points under the guidance of their Moroccan coach, Hossam El Moutawakel.
Al Ahly kicked off their league campaign against Enppi, winning 3-2 in a thrilling comeback after trailing 2-0.
In the second round, they faced Zed Club and won 2-0. In the third-round match against Smouha, they secured a clean-sheet victory in a game where the Alexandrian team adopted a defensive approach.
With this strong start by Al Ahly in the current season, fans of the Red Fortress are reminded of previous seasons that featured similar starts under the trio of Manuel Jose, Rainer Weiler, and Marcel Koller.
- Manuel Jose, the iconic coach of Al Ahly Club, achieved this start in the 2004-2005 season, winning the league title seven rounds before the end.
- Rainer Weiler, the Swiss coach, in the 2019-2020 season, started with the same perfect run, securing full points in the first three rounds and also winning the Egyptian league title before the end.
- Marcel Koller, the coach who has achieved significant success with Al Ahly recently, also won the first three matches and captured the league title in the 2022-2023 season.
The question remains: will Hossam El Moutawakel continue his perfect start with Al Ahly and follow in the footsteps of Manuel Jose, Rainer Weiler, and Marcel Koller, who succeeded in winning the league title after achieving full points in the first three rounds?
Al Ahly hopes that the strong start to the current season will serve as a springboard to reclaim the Egyptian league title, which had eluded the Red Fortress last season.
Will Hossam El Moutawakel write a new chapter in Al Ahly's history and replicate the scenario of the trio Jose, Weiler, and Koller by winning the league title after a perfect start to the competition?
