Emad El Nahhas has expressed his gratitude to Al Ahly president Mahmoud El-Khatib for having faith in him after guiding the team to their 45th Egyptian Premier League title.
The Red Eagles thrashed 10-man Pharco 6-0 at the Cairo International Stadium on Wednesday to finish two points above Pyramids in the Championship Group.
El Nahhas was handed the reins on a caretaker basis on April 27 following the departure of Marcel Koller in the wake of his sides elimination from the CAF Champions League at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns in the semi-finals.
The former Egypt international oversaw a six-match winning streak as the Cairo giants overtook Pyramids at the summit to clinch a third consecutive league crown.
El Nahhas, who won 17 trophies with Al Ahly as a player, admitted it was far tougher to secure the championship as a coach and revealed that getting his squad in the right frame of mind was key to their latest success.
