*Cairo, Egypt* – In a stunning development, African giants Al Ahly SC have officially offered Spanish coach José Riveiro the position of head coach, aiming to secure his services ahead of the upcoming season.
Club representatives have already begun negotiations with the 48-year-old tactician, who currently manages Orlando Pirates in South Africa’s Premier Soccer League (PSL).
### **A Bold Move by Africa’s Club of the Century**
Al Ahly, the most successful club in African football history, is looking to reinforce its technical staff after a season of mixed results. Despite maintaining domestic dominance, the Red Devils fell short in their quest for another CAF Champions League title, prompting the club’s hierarchy to seek a high-profile manager capable of restoring their continental supremacy.-Breaking Salary on the Table**
Reports suggest that if an agreement is reached, Riveiro will become the **highest-paid coach in African football history**, surpassing the earnings of previous high-profile managers like Pitso Mosimane and Jorge Jesus.
While exact figures remain undisclosed, sources indicate that Al Ahly is prepared to offer a lucrative multi-year deal to lure the Spaniard to Cairo.
This move signals Al Ahly’s ambition to not only dominate African football but also compete at the highest level in the FIFA Club World Cup. The Egyptian powerhouse has long been a continental force, but recent struggles in key matches have led to a reevaluation of their coaching structure.
### **Will Riveiro Accept the Challenge?**
Negotiations are still in the early stages, and Riveiro’s decision may hinge on several factors, including project vision, transfer market influence, and potential backroom staff appointments. Orlando Pirates will likely put up a fight to retain their manager, but the allure of managing Africa’s most decorated club—with the promise of unprecedented financial terms—could prove too tempting to resist.
Should the deal go through, Riveiro would inherit a squad packed with talent, including the likes of Percy Tau, Mohamed El Shenawy, and Ahmed “Koka” Hassan, while also having the resources to reinforce key positions.
### **What’s Next?**
Fans across the continent will be watching closely as talks progress. If finalized, this appointment could mark a new era for Al Ahly, with Riveiro at the helm of their quest for further glory.
For now, the football world waits to see if Africa’s biggest club and one of its most promising coaches can strike a historic agreement.
