The coach took over from friendly acqaintance, Swiss Rene Weiler, at the semifinal stage, where he engineered an impressive 5-0 aggregate win against Wydad Casablanca.
His team had to make use of all their class and organisation to hold off a whilrwind challenge from Zamalek, who ran at Ahly for much of the final. The goal, though, only seemed to awaken a tiger within the White Knights. Zamalek piled on the pressure, with Achraf Benchanki shooting across the face of goal.
That oportunitty only, somehow, increased the pace of an already frenetic contest. Almost as if to prove they were still in the ascendancy, Zamalek also hit the woodwork, midfielder Zizo striking thubderously from 35 metres onto the upright.
