Ahli coach Manuel Jose warned his players that other clubs will want to take advantage of Ahli's lost confidence after the Club World Cup disappointment.

The Red Devils endured a dismal World Cup campaign, where two defeats at the hands of CONCACAF champions Pachuca and Adelaide United of Australia saw the team finish the tournament in last position.

Ahli's official website stated that Jose asked his players on Monday to forget the World Cup experience in order to focus on the club's upcoming domestic commitments.

The Portuguese tactician also warned that opponents will be eager to get positive results from the Cairo giants.

Jose added that all big teams suffer bad spells from time to time, and it's their ability to bounce back which makes the difference.

The league holders are currently fifth in the league table on 20 points and five games in hand.
