“Sometimes a strong relationship comes to an end, that’s what happened, if a chance avails itself I would happily return to Al Ahly,” Cavin Johnson told Egyptian TV channel ONTime Sports regarding his abrupt departure from Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly.
“My time with Al Ahly was wonderful, I worked with a professional team, and it added to my experience, Al Ahly is an iconic African club.
“Working under the guidance of Mahmoud El-Khatib is one of the best things in my career, he doesn’t speak a lot but he’s always there for the team, and when he speaks, his words have an encouraging effect on everyone.
“El-Khatib was one of Africa’s best players, him being Al Ahly president reflects the club’s ideals, he knows how to lead the club to the summit. I hope he stays in his position for ten more years, he’s brilliant, I haven’t met anyone like him in Egypt,”
While it’s already been over two months since his abrupt departure from Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly, Johnson is yet to return to the touchline despite heavily been linked with a number of PSL sides including Orlando Pirates as well as international posts on the African continent.
