Ahli are currently not powerful enough to win the African Champions League, manager Manuel Jose said. "Right now, we don't have what it takes to be crowned African champions," the Portuguese told a press conference on Wednesday. "Ahli need to sign new star players to be able to compete with the best African teams." The Egyptian champions will kick-off their quarter-final campaign on Sunday, when they play Moroccan giants Wydad. The last-eight is played in two groups, each contains four teams. The first and second of every group qualify to a knock-out phase. Group B also include Algeria's Mouloudia and Esperance of Tunisia. "We are not as powerful as the past few years. And this is normal," according to Jose.
