In a surprising twist, Spanish manager Jose Ribeiro, head coach of Al Ahly SC, has

decided to retain right-back Omar Kamal Abdel Wahed in the squad for the upcoming

season, reversing earlier expectations that the player would be released

during the current summer transfer window.

Sources inside the club confirmed that Ribeiro expressed full confidence

in Omar Kamal’s abilities, assuring the player of a strong chance to play

regularly, on the condition that he continues to work hard and perform well

in training during the team’s preseason preparations.

Ribeiro Gives Omar Kamal a Career Lifeline at Al Ahly

Ribeiro reviewed his plans for the upcoming season and ultimately decided

against parting ways with Omar Kamal. This decision comes after the player’s

solid performances in recent friendlies, convincing the coach to keep him as part

of his tactical blueprint.

Fierce Competition with Mohamed Hany Expected

TV analyst and former goalkeeper Ahmed Shobeir recently revealed

that Omar Kamal had been very close to leaving Al Ahly at the end of last season.

However, Ribeiro’s belief in Kamal’s potential tipped the scales in his favor.

Shobeir added that Mohamed Hany will face intense competition for a starting

spot, as both players possess high technical quality and experience, making the right-back

position one of the most competitive roles in the squad.

With more than 11 players officially released, Jose Ribeiro is now putting the

finishing touches on Al Ahly’s final squad list.

Two additional friendlies are scheduled after the team returns from

its Tunisia camp to further evaluate players and fine-tune the lineup for the new season.
