Percy Tau is back to getting the recognition he deserves after a tumultuous time with Egyptian Giants Al Ahly, where he had a disagreement with coach Marcel Koller that kept him on the bench for months.
It’s been a while since the Bafana star was a team’s focal point, and that seems to be the case with his new club, Qatar SC, who lie eleventh on the table with a mediocre ten points from twelve games.
“I thank the club’s management for signing a great player like Percy Tau,” said manager Youssef Safri.
Before adding that, “Everyone knows his importance and capabilities, and he does not need to adapt, especially since he plays among distinguished players, such as Javi Martinez and Badr Banoun,
“This is the best time to sign a player like Percy, he is a big name and will have an impact tomorrow.”
Farewell message
Following his departure from Al Ahly, Tau sent his former club, and its fans, a classy farewell message:
“Dear Al Ahly people, from day one, I was here to make history, and together we made it,
“You, my beloved ones, have been my home and my inspiration for the years I have been with you. Together, we have made great and unforgettable memories.
“Together, we have won and celebrated 12 incredible Championships. I am really pleased to have achieved all of the great accolades with you without saving a single drop of sweat,” Tau added.
“Each victory was made sweeter by your unwavering support and by seeing the smiles all over your faces. Your cheers, your passion, and your love have been the driving force behind my every moment on the pitch. Leaving is never easy, but I carry with me memories of joy, triumph, and unity for representing ‘The Club of Century’ with this generation of great players.
“Many thanks to the president, management, coaches, staff, the players, and everyone who contributes to the club. Thank you for being my family, my inspiration, and my greatest supporter. This isn’t a goodbye but a heartfelt “see you later.”
