The management of Al Ahly has decided to impose financial penalties on first-team players, deducting 15% from the October salary of each player who participated in the recent match against Al Qanah, whether they were in the starting lineup or came on as substitutes. This move reflects the frustration within the Red Castle due to the recent decline in performance and results.
The penalties were implemented immediately, as players who participated in the match were surprised to find 15% deducted from their October salaries, which were deposited into their bank accounts yesterday, Monday. This serves as a clear message from the management about the need to restore discipline and perform at a level that aligns with the club's ambitions and its fans.
Thrilling Draw Sparks Anger in Red Management
The situation escalated after Al Ahly drew 3-3 with Al Qanah, a match in which the team conceded three goals, raising questions about the players' technical and physical levels. This prompted the management to act swiftly and hold accountable those who participated in the match.
According to a source within the club, the decision came after consultations between Mahmoud El Khatib, Al Ahly's president, Yassin Mansour, the vice president, and Sayed Abdel Hafiz, a board member, before Wael Gomaa, the director of football, announced the penalties and emphasized the need for everyone to take responsibility.
