Musimane: Training Al-Ahly is a big responsibility

South African Betsu Musimani, the new coach of the first football team of the Egyptian Al-Ahly Club, expressed his happiness to be with the team after officially hiring him.

Musimani said at the press conference held today, Saturday, to present it to the media, that training Al-Ahly is a great responsibility and he knows his role well, where he is, and the pressures that fall on him in the next stage, especially since the fans of the team always demand to win championships.

He added that he knows how much pressure is being put on the teams that participate in the African Champions League, especially that he met before with Al-Ahly and Zamalek when he was in charge of the South African Sun Downs team, and he also faced Egypt while he was in the technical staff of the South African team.

He explained that the fans always demand victory, which puts great pressure on the team, and he has been accustomed to these pressures since his presence with Sun Downs.

He continued: "I attended to train Al-Ahly and have many experiences that I gained from playing against Egyptian clubs such as Al-Ahly and Zamalek in the African Championships. I know very well the size and value of Al-Ahly club, as it is the Century Club in Africa."

He said: "It was difficult to leave Sun Downs, who I trained for eight years, and to agree to train Al-Ahly, but this step was like a dream of my dreams ... so I did not hesitate to accept Al-Ahly's offer, as this ancient club enjoys the full respect and appreciation of everyone in Africa."

He added, "I would like to convey the message of the President of the Sun Downs Club, as he was very happy with my appointment as technical director of the Horn of Africa Club, and many South African fans congratulated me on this giant step."
