Ahly coach Mohamed Youssef says that his team has pleased all Egyptians, after winning the second successive African Champions League title.
The Red Devils secured a 2-0 home victory over South Africa's Orlando Pirates to win a record-extending eighth Champions League title on Sunday.
"It is always Ahly's destiny to please Egyptians. We all needed this joy and the victory," Youssef said in a TV declaration after the match.
"We worked as a unified team during the last period and the players did their best to please the fans, whose return today to the stands is a great achievement," he added.
Ahly will make their fifth appearance at the Club World Cup in Morocco, where they will open their campaign against China's Guangzhou Evergrande.
They will set up a mouthwatering clash against European champions Bayern Munich if they overcome Marcello Lippi's side.
