The report added that the player's who did not feature were not affected by the punishment, while the substitutes had a lighter sanction.
Former Al Ahly star Mustafa Abdo has now criticised Koller after the disappointing draw.
"Kohler bears full responsibility for the draw with Zamalek because he is a stubborn coach and made clear mistakes in the formation and management of the match," Abdo said on MBC MASR.
"I do not want to deny the achievements made by Kohler, but there is a decline in some technical matters. Despite that, I refuse his departure because there are important tournaments that Al-Ahly is participating in, and the season is still in the middle."
