Sorop said during the press conference held today: “I am very happy… Many of the club’s officials, most of them former football players, and I spoke with Captain Mahmoud Al-Khatib, the club’s president, and we both played as strikers, and we touched on many points related to the team.”

He added: “I learned a lot about Al-Ahly, and I know that it is a team that always seeks to win only, and I personally agree with this matter, and I will do my best to develop the players and preserve the history achieved, and continue the journey to achieve more successes and achievements… I am very passionate about getting to know the players, and I know that the team is heading to a very important match in a few days.”

He revealed his assistant staff, saying: “I will have five assistants with me within the supporting staff, and our goal is only one, which is to win and achieve championships, which is the true meaning of football. I am accustomed to working in big clubs in Europe, and I participated in the Champions League, and I know that the task with Al-Ahly is not easy, and I am accustomed to working under pressure.”

Sorrab indicated that he watched some of the team’s matches during the recent period, starting with participation in the Club World Cup, as well as its matches in the league championship, to analyze performance and determine the points that will be worked on.

He continued: “Al-Ahly played 3 matches in the Club World Cup and made a great effort despite not achieving the desired result, and now I am here and will work to achieve the achievements that the club aims to achieve. I had many offers in the past period and this is normal after working in the German League, which is considered one of the strongest European competitions and with which I achieved many successes, and it is normal for me to get offers from various countries of the world.”

The Danish coach hinted that he felt great interest immediately after receiving an offer to coach Al-Ahly, and with the talks, the negotiations developed through the club delegation that traveled to Denmark, and that he was proud to be part of this ancient entity.

The Danish coach recalled: “I associated with a number of Egyptian players, such as Mahmoud Abu Al-Dahab and Abdel Sattar Sabry, and I remember the period that brought us together, and I hope to meet them.”

He stressed that he knows well the extent of the pressures resulting from the popularity of Al-Ahly, which has more than 70 million Egyptians behind it, and that since arriving at Cairo Airport, he has felt this matter through the club’s fans, who have come to know its value well, which has appeared in the great media interest since he contracted with him, and that he cares about success in his mission accompanied by his supporting staff.
