Ahmed Shobier has voiced surprise at Mahmoud El Khatib's apparent distance from football matters at Al Ahly, saying the club president's reduced role in that area raises major questions.
The comments came after Al Ahly approved a new football restructuring plan, a move that has intensified debate over internal responsibilities and who will drive the key decisions in the next phase.
There has been no official statement yet from Al Ahly confirming that the restructuring means El Khatib has permanently stepped away from the football file, leaving the matter under close watch.
