The credit for Al-Ahly’s crowning of the league shield goes to the Swiss, Rene Weiler, the former coach of the team, who led the Red Genie to win the title 7 rounds before the end of the competition, for the fifth consecutive season and for the 42nd time in its history.
Al-Ahly club contracted with René Fyler in August 2019 to succeed the Uruguayan coach Martin Lasarte, and the Red Castle management succeeded in extending the Swiss coach’s contract for a new year after the impressive levels he provided with the team.
Fyler won the bet of the Al-Ahly Planning Committee, and led the red team in 30 league matches for the 2019/2020 season, to collect 79 points out of 90 possible points, after winning 25 matches against a draw in four matches and losing one match.
The Swiss coach contributed 89% to the record achieved by Al-Ahly as the highest point record reached by any team in the history of the Premier League since its launch in the 1948/1949 season, after the team scored 89 points at the end of the competition.
Fyler also achieved with Al-Ahly the second best start in the club’s history in the league with 16 consecutive victories, one more than the record held by Portuguese Manuel Jose in the 2004/2005 season, when he achieved 17 successive victories.
Al-Ahly enjoyed with Fyler a superb attacking power, as the team scored 67 goals in 30 games by 17 players from all centers of the stadium, so Al-Ahly achieved, at the end of the competition, the second best goalscoring record in the history of the tournament, with 74 goals.
But with the start of last October, Fyler took advantage of a clause in his contract granting him a free departure for special circumstances, before Al-Ahly decided to end the contractual relationship with Fyler in accordance with the terms of his contract with the club, and to contract with South African Pitso Musimane.
Musimani came to Al-Ahly, who is the league champion, to play with the team four matches without receiving any loss, and the last of them was against Al-Talaa Al-Jaysh, where he won 3-0, before celebrating with the technical staff and players of the League Shield on Saturday.
Fyler was absent from the scenes of the celebrations of Al-Ahly’s crowning of the 42nd league title, but he was present in messages sent by Pitso Mosimane, who did not miss the opportunity to thank the Swiss coach, as he stated after the Talaia Al-Jaish match: “I thank Fyler, for he is the one who led the team to crown the league.”
Musimani returned to pay tribute to Failer through his Twitter account, where he posted a picture of him with the Swiss coach and commented on it, saying: “I show my respect to Mister Fyler. I was called up only to finish the matches he left behind, he had already decided the league championship, and all I took care of. Is finished properly. “
