Jose praises Weiler on amazing performances with Al Ahly

Manuel Jose, the former legendary coach of Al-Ahly, praised what the Reds present under the leadership of Swiss coach Rene Weiler.

"I watch Al Ahly's matches and see that the team performs well in the African competition as well as in the League," Jose said.

"I think Al Ahly will win the African Championship this season if the final is held in Cairo," he added in his comments to On Sport.

On Weiler, Jose said: "Weiler is a great coach and offers distinguished levels with Al Ahly."

He continued, "Weiler is able to achieve the achievements that I did with Al-Ahly."

"I think Weiler will become a new version of Manuel Jose," he said.

Swiss Rene Weiler has led Al-Ahly in 16 games so far. Al-Ahly did not know the taste of defeat with Weiler except only once against the ES Etoile in the African Champions League.

The Reds won 15 games under Weiler, and did not draw on any occasion. Al-Ahly under Weiler scored 41 goals, and the team conceded only in just 6 times.
