Unfancied Pyramids FC of Egypt might have been crowned African champions on Sunday, but their Croatian coach Krunoslav Jurcic said they still faced a struggle to assert themselves in their own country.

It was a second trophy, after Egyptian Cup success last season, for the club in just its second Champions League campaign.
