Egyptian Premier League champions Al Ahly have fired title-winning manager Martin Lasarte in the aftermath of their disappointing Round of 16 cup exit against Pyramids on Saturday.
An Eric Traory effort in the 55th minute of proceedings at the Borg El Arab Stadium was enough for the visitors' unexpected 1-0 victory, sealing a third straight win for Pyramids against the Red Devils in all competitions.
The decision to jettison the Uruguayan, who led the Red Devils to their 41st Egyptian title in July, came after a review of the campaign was held by the club’s committee, and the club giants confirmed on their website.
