The 61-year-old may have delivered a golden era of silverware at Al Ahly, but the South African tactician still has high-ranking detractors in Cairo. Despite a trophy cabinet bulging from his 21-month stint with the Red Devils, former Managing Director of Sport Mohsen Saleh has launched a scathing attack on the coach's credentials and his eventual departure from the Egyptian giants.
After a short and controversial stint and eventual exit, it seems all is not well between the Spaniard and the Egyptian giants. After what was initially thought to be an ambitious move, the 50-year-old coach only lasted three months. A poor run of games, coupled with pressure from fans and the club's legends, saw the African giants dismiss the MTN8 and Nedbank Cup winner.
Apart from the South African Premier Soccer League title-winning tactician, a Barcelona legend has also been linked with the vacant position at the Egyptian club.

Who has scored the most goals for Uruguay at World Cup Finals?
Uruguay have produced a glittering array of striking talent over the years, including Luis Suarez, Diego Forlan and Edinson Cavani. However, it's Oscar Míguez, who played for La Celeste during the 1950 and 1954 tournaments, scoring eight times, who tops the nation's World Cup finals scoring charts. A more modern-day star, in the shape of Fernando Muslera, holds the no.1 spot in the all-time World Cup appearances for Uruguay though, having played 16 times during three tournaments (2010, 2014 and 2018).
