Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller has made a surprise comment about the club's supporters following their CAF Champions League success.
Koller guided the Red Devils to back-to-back CAF Champions League titles after overcoming Esperance in the final last month.

However, the Swiss tactician has revealed that they were told not celebrate the Champions League success too much as they should get the Egyptian Premier League title.
"In the eyes of the fans, everything is great when we succeed, but their perception changes if we suffer a loss," Koller told Swiss website Blick.
"We had barely finished celebrating our victory when I was told we had to win the league as well," the Swiss tactician added.
"Appeasing Ahly fans is almost impossible."
Al Ahly won the league title last season, ending a two-season wait after arch-rivals Zamalek had won it back-to-back from 2020 to 2022.
The Red Devils currently find themselves in eighth position on the league table, 20 points behind leaders Pyramids FC but they have played seven games fewer due to their commitment in the Champions League in the last two months.
