There is anger among some, who feel the security forces and police did not do enough to intervene. Jose himself was among those, who were attacked. "I was beaten with fists and kicks to the neck, head and feet," said the Portuguese boss, (65) who has also coached Sporting Lisbon, Benfica and Braga in a 30-year career.
Jose was taken to his side's dressing room. "There I saw our fans die before us and we could do nothing. This has changed my life completely," he told www.el-ahly.com.
