The club reportedly held meetings on Saturday to determine the way forward and have now released a statement confirming Koller's departure.
The Swiss tactician won the CAF Champions League twice while he also guided Al Ahly to two Egyptian Premier League titles.
Statement:
"Negotiations are ongoing with Koller to terminate the contract by mutual consent, in a manner befitting the club and its coach.
"Al-Ahly confirms its pride in what Koller has achieved, as he gave everything he could along with his assistant staff, who also deserve thanks."
