Firas Ali, the agent for Danish coach Jess Torup, has shared insights into the final hours leading up to the coach’s departure from Al Ahly, emphasizing that the contract termination was conducted in a friendly and professional manner among all parties involved.

Earlier today, Al Ahly announced the conclusion of its relationship with Torup and his coaching staff following a period marked by disappointing results and unmet objectives.

In television statements, Firas Ali highlighted his long-standing relationship with Al Ahly, expressing deep appreciation for the club and its fans. He stressed his commitment to maintaining a positive relationship between both sides throughout the negotiations.

Ali noted that Al Ahly is one of the largest clubs in Africa and the Arab world, which necessitates respectful and professional dealings in all circumstances.

He added that the final negotiations for terminating the contract proceeded smoothly, confirming that any points of disagreement were quickly resolved before reaching a satisfactory agreement for all parties.

The agent emphasized that reports suggesting significant conflicts between the two sides were inaccurate, stating that the initial serious meeting led to consensus on various details regarding the contract termination.

He revealed that Osama Hilal played a crucial role in bridging differences and concluding matters amicably due to his prior relationship with Torup since his appointment.

Firas Ali declined to disclose financial details related to the agreement, affirming that such announcements are the club’s prerogative. However, he clarified that the resolution was handled elegantly without any disputes or intentions to escalate matters before FIFA.

Additionally, he mentioned that Torup expressed gratitude towards Al Ahly’s management and fans, indicating that the lack of success stemmed from a lack of technical compatibility between himself and the team, despite his desire to continue working at the club.

In closing, he affirmed that the Danish coach possesses significant capabilities and could shine in his next position, noting that his experience with Al Ahly was his first in the Arab region, which provided him with valuable insights for future endeavors.
