Former Barcelona sporting executive Andoni Zubizarreta has denied that he is in talks with Al Ahly to take over as the club's sporting director.
His response came after reports linked him with the role, but the Spaniard moved quickly to dismiss the story and confirm that no contacts are currently taking place.
That leaves Al Ahly's sporting director file open for the time being, with no official appointment announced yet as the club continues to shape its structure for next season.
The picture is expected to become clearer if Al Ahly issue a formal update on the position in the coming days.
