Marcel Koller has once again proven his tactical brilliance by leading Al Ahly SC to their second consecutive CAF Champions League title in 2024.
The Swiss coach, who joined the Cairo-based club in 2022, has transformed Al Ahly into an unstoppable force in African football. Under his guidance, the team has dominated both domestically and continentally.
"This victory belongs to the players and the incredible fans," Koller said after the final whistle. "Al Ahly is a special club with a winning mentality that matches my own philosophy."
The championship run saw Al Ahly defeat some of Africa's best teams, showcasing the defensive solidity and tactical flexibility that have become hallmarks of Koller's management style.
Key to the success was Koller's ability to blend experienced players with emerging talent, creating a balanced squad capable of competing on multiple fronts. His preferred 4-2-3-1 formation provided both stability and creativity.
This victory adds to Koller's impressive trophy cabinet, which includes Swiss Championships, the Austrian national team's Euro 2016 qualification, and now back-to-back African titles.
