The Al-Ahly club management has ended the ongoing debate about the possibility of signing coach Hervé Renard to lead the team in the upcoming period.

Informed sources confirmed that Al-Ahly is not conducting any negotiations with Renard at the moment, contrary to recent reports about his imminent appointment as the team's coach.

The club's management has decided to retain the current head coach, Jess Thorup, until the end of the season, postponing the decision on the new coaching staff until after the conclusion of the domestic competitions.

The management has given the Danish coach a final opportunity to prove his abilities, as his performance will be evaluated definitively after the conclusion of the Egyptian League championship.

This decision came as part of the club officials' desire to maintain technical stability and avoid making hasty decisions during the critical stage of the season.

Al Ahly suffered a major setback by being eliminated from the CAF Champions League after losing to Tunisia's Esperance Sportive in the quarter-finals.

On the other hand, Renard's future with the Saudi national team remains undecided, as his situation will be assessed after the upcoming friendly match against Serbia.

Al-Ahly management is striving to establish a clear vision for the new season, whether by retaining Torop or hiring a new coach to lead the team in the upcoming phase.
