The former Arab Contractors coach, Mohamed Odeh, settled the tendencies of the former team player, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, about his support for Al-Ahly or Zamalek, when he was a player in the Arab contractors before his departure to Europe.

Mohamed Odeh, the former coach of Arab contractors and one of the team's former players, confirmed on TV statements that Salah encourages Al-Ahly.

He explained: "Salah's affiliation did not distance him from achieving the dream of professionalism in Europe, despite receiving offers from Al-Ahly and Zamalek to include him."

Salah had previously declared that he was an Ismaili fan and loved him long ago, while former Arab Contractors goalkeeper Mohamed al-Aqabawi spoke of Salah's affiliation with Zamalek.
