Salama expressed, in a statement to "Arabs Today", his appreciation to the efforts exerted by the coaching staff led by Hossam Al Badry, saying that he managed to achieve notable progress in the performance of the team during the recent period.
He stressed his support for Badry and his coaching staff to resume his way and to win the Egyptian league this season, stressing the need for providing him with the confidence to win the CAF Champions League. He denied what was published over his intention to dismiss a number of Ahly's players.
He added that the board does not interfere in the work of the coach, blaming the media channels and newspapers for attempting to raise the tensions inside the team.
