Ahli star Hussein Yasser explained how the presence of former coach Manuel Jose marred his spell in Egypt, stressing that issues became personal with the Portuguese in the end.

Yasser, who hardly had a role to play in Jose's selection, aimed a swipe at the current Angola boss, even after the latter had left Ahli.

"He created a lot of problems for me, but it was all unnecessary," the Qatari forward told FIFA.com.

"Unfortunately, it became something personal in the end and, as a result, I never played a whole game.

"I think it was wrong and unprofessional of him to criticize me and the rest of players after he left the club."

"I was fed up playing under him and would have considered walking out had he not quit."

New Staff

After admitting he was on brink of leaving Ahli in the summer, Yasser declared that the technical staff alteration prompted him to consider his options.

The 27-year-old is now in the process of becoming a key member of Hossam Al-Badri's team, and was influential in Ahli's last two league games.

"Things are much better now and I get along very well with the new staff," he added.

"They promised me a chance to prove myself this season, and I've performed well every time I've played so far."
