According to press reports, today, Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahly Club decided to dismiss its Swiss coach, Christian Gross, from his position, and assign the national coach, Mazen Bahkali, to the mission.
According to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper, the management of the Saudi Al-Ahly Club, headed by Abdul-Ilah Moamena, made the decision to overthrow Gros due to the decline in the team's results in the current season, especially after the loss to Al-Wahda, and avoiding competition for the top of the table of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Cup’s professional league table.
According to "Al-Sharq Al-Awsat", Gross did not travel with Al-Ahly yesterday, Saturday, to Kuwait in preparation for facing Iranian independence, tomorrow, Monday, in the second round of the first group matches of the AFC Champions League.
He is due to lead Al-Ahly in his Asian match tomorrow.
