The Egyptian powerhouse secured their 39th Egypt Cup title with a 2-0 victory over Zamalek, courtesy of a late goal from midfielder Emam Ashour and an injury-time strike by Mohamed "Afsha" Magdi.

"We didn't perform up to our standards in the first half. During halftime, I spoke to the players to alleviate the tension and bring the playing areas closer together. We managed to improve and score two goals," Koller said after the match.

"I will always maintain my drive, and I will forever crave winning titles. While achieving seven titles since taking charge of Ahly is remarkable, I consistently motivate the players to conquer all the championships we compete in," added the Swiss tactician.

The 63-year old coach took over Ahly in August 2022 and claimed seven titles including the African Champions League and reclaiming the league title for the first time after two seasons.

The Red Devils' victory holds historic significance as it marks the first time the Egypt Cup was contested outside of Egypt, with Saudi Arabia serving as the host for the 91st edition of the event.
