Ahly's Spanish coach Juan Carlos Garrido has expressed his excitement after winning the CAF Confederation Cup, his first major title with the Cairo giants.

"Ahly is a club that is always seeks victories and whoever is in charge must only aim for titles," the 45-year-old tactician stated during a press conference Tuesday at the Cairo-based club headquarters.

After being eliminated out of the CAF Champions League, Garrido inspired the record holders of eight trophies to become first ever Egyptian team to win the continent's secondary tournament, the Confederation Cup – thanks to a 96th minute header from veteran striker Emad Meteb against Sewe Sport to set the score at 1-0, Saturday in Cairo.

"Of course, luck exists in football but we earned our luck as we worked really hard throughout the tournament and kept on fighting until the end," he added.

"Now we have to realise more victories so it won't be an easy phase. The player who won't be willing to fight for wins will have no place on the team," Garrido insisted.
