Al Ahly are almost out of the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup following a 2-0 loss against Palmeiras on Thursday evening.
Having drawn 0-0 with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, the Red Devils needed at least a draw against a quality Palmeiras side, but they were punished by the Brazilians. Currently, they are at the bottom of Group A with a point, while the South Americans and Inter Miami take the first two positions with four points apiece.
Coach Jose Riveiro has now been taunted by the fans in Mzansi, with the majority feeling his move from Orlando Pirates to Al Ahly was the wrong one.
Riveiro will find his suitcase out
Jose Riveiro is a Plumber; he was so overrated by those noise makers fans at Orlando Pirates – Nchimunya Habasimbi
There's a difference between a death certificate and a coaching licence; you can guess what Riveiro has – Thatego
My take from the time I heard that he was going to Al Ahly was that he should not have taken that deal, but a different team, because he won't last in Egypt – Benson Mooketsi
Those guys don't have the patience like Iron Duke. He will find his suitcase outside the house when he returns next week.. He must run for his life – JD Malindima
He's good as a builder. An already established squad ain't his strong suit. The guitar without strings – Papas Mogapi
Al Ahly should have buried Inter Miami
Riveiro needs a witchcraft from Orlando Pirates. He can't make it alone. The legends are ready for him in Cairo, they are going to cook him – Mentwenya Manaka
His only problem is that he kneels to indicate that he doesn’t have Plan B. He should stand up, move around, and coach the players – Moses Moreroa
They should have buried Inter Miami in the first game with those seven big chances they had in the first half – Dj'Mkaay Makeleni
The problem is that he is going to appear before a first disciplinary court. Egyptians don't easily take a loss – Josef Lethabo
The Fifa Club World Cup is the highest international football level that cannot make any coach bad overnight. Just football politics determines the coach's future sometimes – Moses Mose
