Sacked Al Ahly coach Ricardo Soares has broken his silence after his departure from the Egyptian giants after just 17 games in charge.
The Club of the Century finished outside the top two in the league for a first time in 30 years, leading to Soares’ dismissal a day after their 4-0 win over Cleopatra FC in their final league match.
The Portuguese tactician has now taken to his social pages to send a farewell message to the club and fans, saying he considers his short time at the club a success.
“It was with enormous pride that I represented the biggest African club, the club of the century, one of the most popular clubs in the world, Al-Ahly,” he wrote.
“The work we did, in such an intense, dedicated and passionate way, and in such a short time, leaves everyone without exception with a feeling of having fulfilled their duty.
“This giant club lives off titles, but I still consider a success the way in which everyone who works at the club, from all departments, worked, dedicated themselves, came together and contributed so that, despite all the obstacles, we honoured the shirt. Thank you all!
“Success is also the family made up of all the true men who made up the team, from the most experienced to the youngest, great men who gave me great pleasure to work with. To all, but especially to the many youngsters that I had the pleasure to launch in various games, I want to leave a word of courage and confidence because what they did in training session after training session and what they did in the matches, reveals what great professionals they are, and that Al-Ahly has to be happy to have such a strong group of men.
“We didn’t win trophies, but we won the titles of respect, of professionalism, and the recognition that we gave everything for Al-Ahly.
“I wish you every success, and see you one day!”
