Loading ...FIFA.com interviews Manual Jose
December 4, 2006
(FIFA.com) - Since the legendary Hungarian Nandor Hidegkuti was in charge of Al Ahly in the 1970s, no other coach has captured the hearts of their fans like current boss Manuel Jose. In 2001, his first year, he guided the Cairo club to CAF Champions League glory with a squad comprising mostly of promising youngsters like Hossam Ghaly, now at Tottenham Hotspur.
He left at the end of that season before returning three years ago to help them to eight trophies and have the title of ‘King’ bestowed upon him by the club’s supporters. Jose talked to FIFA.com about his second trip to Japan and what he anticipates for his side this time around.
