<p>The club ‌said Thorup had <strong>“signed a settlement agreement ‌after receiving his full ⁠dues ‌in line with his contract ​terms”</strong>.</p><p>Thorup, 56, was appointed in October ​on a two-and-a-half-year deal following the exit of ⁠Spaniard ​Jose Riveiro.</p><p>He guided Al Ahly to the Egyptian Super Cup title with ‌a 2-0 victory over arch-rivals Zamalek, but results tailed off in the latter stages of the campaign.</p><p>Al-Ahly finished third in the league, missing out on ‌a place in next ​season’s African Champions League ‌and settling for Confederation Cup qualification. They were also eliminated in the quarter-finals of ⁠the ⁠continent’s ‌premier club competition.</p>
