What is the secret of Mahdi Ali’s success in Shabab Al Ahli?

Shabab Al Ahli finished a fantastic season with victory in the Presidents Cup final and has won three trophies since the appointment of Mahdi Ali in December 2020.

The Red Cavaliers defeated Al Nasr 2-1 and are now unbeaten in the past 25 games.

“For the club, the players, the management, I am very happy. This is the result of all our efforts to get us to this point.

“We didn’t start very well in the league, but we were in good form and we won three-quarters of the trophy. This is very good for the club and the players.

“Hard work, hard work and hard work; this is the secret behind it. There is nothing else. There is team spirit, from the player committee, officials, fans and all employees. This is the main reason.” Ali said.

Under Ali’s guidance, the club won the Super Cup in January and subsequently won the Arab Gulf Cup last month in addition to the President’s Cup victory. They also managed to finish third in the United Arab Emirates Arab Gulf League.

Since Ali took over Shabab Al Ahli’s Ah rope, the club has only suffered 3 defeats in 31 games. Interestingly, these defeats were in the AFC Champions League last month.

Shabab Al Ahli will definitely win the championship next season after getting rid of the 7 points of league champion Al Jazira.

To quote Ali as saying: “We must review all the work of the past five months and look at all the strengths, weaknesses, problems, weaknesses, strengths, and try to prepare for the next season from now on.”

“The expectation for the club is always… This is a big club and must always be in the highest position. Therefore, we must work hard, perhaps even harder than this season, and prepare the team well for the team. Make it in good shape from the beginning.” He said.
