The departure of Ahmed Siraj, former Al Ahly star, and his burial took place this afternoon.
Ahmed Siraj, the former player of Al Ahly and former coach in the youth sector of the club, has passed away. He was known as the "General of Training" in this field.
Time of the Funeral Prayer
The funeral prayer is scheduled to take place at Al Salam Mosque in Nasr City after the Dhuhr prayer today.
During his career, Ahmed Siraj played for several clubs, most notably Al Ahly and Al Masry, in addition to his coaching experience in youth sectors.
Ahmed Siraj had a distinguished career at Al Ahly as a former player, then transitioned to coaching, where he oversaw several teams in the youth sector of the club, such as the 2000 and 2001 birth year teams, achieving impressive results and championships for the sector.
A Championship Hunter for the 2000 Birth Year Team
He led the Al Ahly 2000 birth year team for several seasons, and in the 2016-2017 season, he was the only head coach to win a championship for the youth sector of Al Ahly, prompting the management to rebuild the team under his leadership after retracting the decision to merge it with the 1999 birth year team.
Joining the National Teams
Thanks to his significant achievements with the 2000 team at Al Ahly, the club's management agreed in 2015 to include him in the coaching staff of the Egypt U-20 national team alongside Captain Amr Anwar.
Shining with the 2001 Birth Year Team
He then took over the leadership of the Al Ahly 2001 birth year team, guiding the team to the top of the Republic Championship with significant victories, the most notable being a 2-0 win against Zamalek at their home ground, in addition to a 5-0 thrashing of FC Misr.
Leading the Cairo 2001 Team
He took charge of the Cairo team for this age group and led them to win the Republic Youth Championship.
