Al Ahly, the most decorated club in African football history, is on the verge of appointing Moroccan coach Hussein Ammouta as their next head coach. Negotiations between the two parties have reportedly reached an advanced stage, with over 95% of contract terms already agreed upon.
Ammouta is expected to sign a two-year deal carrying a salary of approximately $210,000 per month.
