Al Ahly in Talks with Pereira as Yaisleh's Departure Looms
Al Ahly's management has started taking steps to find a new coach, as the likelihood of German Matthias Jaissle leaving to take over at Newcastle United has increased in the coming period.
Reports have revealed that Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira has emerged as a strong candidate to replace Yahya, as Al Ahly's management has opened communication channels with him to discuss contract details.
Sources indicate that current negotiations are centered on agreeing to personal terms, as the club wishes to conclude the matter quickly if the departure of the German coach is confirmed.
Pereira is the standout option for Al Ahly officials, benefiting from his previous experience in the Saudi Pro League and his understanding of the local competitive atmosphere.
These developments come alongside British reports confirming the end of Eddie Howe's journey with Newcastle United, opening the door for Jaisle to be considered for the managerial role at the English club.
Reports indicate that the German coach is at the top of the list of candidates to succeed Howe, especially with the administrative connection between the two clubs through the Public Investment Fund.
Meanwhile, Al Ahly continues to prepare suitable alternatives, with Vitor Pereira appearing to be the closest to taking on the coaching role, pending the outcome of negotiations in the coming days.
