Johannesburg – Percy Tau has left Egyptian outfit Al Ahly after spending just one season at the club, according to reports on Tuesday.
Following the resignation of Pitso Mosimane in June, speculation has clouded the future of Tau at Al Ahly, as murmurs of him following “Jingles” through the exit door became louder considering he had been a signing specifically requested by the former Red Devils coach.

Following weeks of uncertainty and injuries that have limited his playing time under new Al Ahly coach Ricardo Soares, it now appears the two parties have come to an agreement and have chosen to go their separate ways, according to SuperSport.com.
undefinedIn his single season at Al Ahly, Tau managed to make 31 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing six assists. He only managed to win the Caf Super Cup in what was a tumultuous and disappointing campaign for the club.

Following their defeat to Wydad Casablanca in the Caf Champions League, the only trophy left for them to win is the Egyptian Cup in which they are at the quarter-final stage.
