Being knocked out of the CAF Champions League by Mamelodi Sundowns proved to be too much to bear for Al Ahly bosses.
And as a result, the Egyptian club have fired their coach Marcel Koller for failing to reach the final of the CAF Champions League.
Sundowns drew 1-1 with the Red Devils on Friday evening and in the process eliminated them from the Champions League.
Meanwhile, the 64-year-old Swiss national lost his job despite leading the Egyptian side to 11 trophies since he succeeded Pitso Mosimane as their coach in 2022.
