Percy Tau Leaves Al Ahly After Disappointing Single Season With Egyptian Giants

• The writing was on the wall for an extended period of time, but now the inevitable has happened with Percy Tau at Al Ahly
• The South African midfielder has parted ways with the Egyptian giants after an unhappy season in Cairo
• He had left English Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion to reunite with former coach Pitso Mosimane at the former African champions

The most unsurprising news of the year has emerged in the form of Percy Tau parting ways with Egyptian giants Al Ahly.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder followed in the footsteps of compatriot Pitso Mosimane - who had brought him to the club - after a short and frustrating spell at English club Brighton & Hove Albion.

According to SuperSport, Tau enjoyed regular game time while under Mosimane in Cairo, having signed for the Egyptian Premier League side in 2021 under a two-year contract. He made 22 appearances, finding the back of the net 5 times in that time.

Tau played in the 2021 CAF Super Cup last December, in which he assisted an Al Ahly goal during a match they went on to win in a penalty shootout against Morocco's Raja Casablanca. He also scored in that 6-5 shootout victory.

Meanwhile, the Red Devil's mortal enemies Zamalek were officially crowned as the champions of the Egyptian Premier League after their closest rivals Pyramids FC (for whom South African Fagrie Lakay plays) dropped points last night. This ensured back-to-back titles for the storied team, and their 14th overall.

Al Ahly, on the other hand, looks set to finish in a disappointing third place, which has jeopardised Ricardo Soares' job security, having only replaced Mosimane in June.

Al Ahly coach Ricardo Soares might just be a man in trouble if rumours are to be believed.

As reported by Sports Brief, the Egyptian giants are reportedly already looking to replace Soares following a poor start to his reign in Cairo.

The Portuguese replaced Pitso Mosimane in June after the latter unexpectedly called time on his coaching tenure with the Red Devils in May.
