Ahli boss Manuel Jose has turned down a luxurious offer from Ahli Dubai to take charge of the team next season, a source close to the Portuguese manager said on Thursday. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told FilGoal.com that Jose will earn 120,000 euros as a monthly salary should he accept the Dubai move. However, the former Sporting Lisbon boss rejected the bid, stating that UAE clubs are weak compared to their counterparts in Egypt. Jose is also very content with the host of trophies he achieved with Ahli and does not want to lose the high popularity he gained among the Cairo giants' fans, according to the source. The 60-year-old manager, whose deal expires at the end of the season, has reached an agreement with Ahli to pen a one-year contract extension.
