Derby Dynamo: Jaissle’s Historic Win Sends Al Ahli Closer to a Treble
8 March 2026
Derby Glory for Jaissle
Al Ahli celebrated German coach Matias Jaissle's historic milestone after a 3-1 derby win over Al Ittihad in Jeddah.
The victory lifted Al Ahli to 62 points, placing them second in the Saudi Pro League and two behind leaders Al Nassr.
Jaissle arrived at the club at the start of the 2023-24 season and has since delivered continental and domestic trophies.
Those include the AFC Champions League Elite titles (2024-25) and the domestic Super Cup (2025-26).
Now he is chasing a possible treble of league, cup, and Elite AFC glory, with Ahli's form making them serious contenders.
The club celebrated the milestone with a post, marking 59 wins under his leadership.
He is widely credited with reestablishing Al Ahli as a top force in Saudi and Asian football.
Punchline 1: If Jaissle keeps this up, even the trophy cabinet will start asking for a raise.
Punchline 2: In football terms, his odds are so good that VAR would happily grant him a cameo.
