Aliyu Zubairu Becomes Head Coach of Al Ahli Madani
Aliyu Zubairu, the former head coach of Nigeria's U-20 team, has been appointed as the new head coach of Sudanese club Al Ahli Madani on a two-year contract. He replaces veteran coach Farouk Jabra, whose contract expired at the end of the last season.
Zubairu, who recently left Telecom SC in Egypt, is tasked with preparing Al Ahli Madani for the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup, Africa's second-tier club competition. The 62-year-old coach has a notable background in Nigerian and African football, having previously led El-Kanemi Warriors to the 2024 President Federation Cup title and a promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League.
His tenure with Nigeria's Flying Eagles included a third-place finish at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations and participation in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile. Zubairu's experience is expected to enhance Al Ahli Madani's performance both domestically and in continental competitions.
