Al Ahly has signed Swiss coach Rene Weiler to take on the top role starting the 2019-2020 season, the Cairo giants said in a statement. Three assistant managers, all of whom were unnamed, will add the 45-year-old, the statement notes. Weiler, who succeeds the sacked Uruguayan coach Martin Lasarte, was a former Swiss league defender. He managed several European top tier teams, including Germany’s FC Nürnberg and Belgium’s Anderlecht.
