Italian coach Roberto Manchini, head coach of the Saudi team, intervened in the issue of raising the number of foreigners per team, in the Saudi Professional Roshn League, starting from the next winter transfer window.
The President of the Saudi Football Federation, Yasser Al-Mashal, revealed the scenes of the recent workshop held with the Professional League and the coaches of the competition teams.
According to the Saudi Sports newspaper, during the meeting with Roshen coaches, we did not decide or vote on increasing foreign players, but only their opinion was taken.
He explained that the head coach of the Saudi team, the Italian Roberto Manchini, believes that the 8 of foreign players is a sufficient number in the Roshen League.
The president of the FA added that there are 18 technical experts on the ground it is very important to listen to their perspective in order to develop a road map for the future of Saudi football in terms of the number of clubs in the coming years, and the number of local players on the list of teams to participate.
The survey concluded that the idea of Fatah coach Slaven Bilic, taking advantage of the loan of players between clubs, already exists, for example, Mukhtar Ali Al Fatah, currently on loan from Al-Nasr, and Abdel Ilah Husawi, also on loan from the Federation to the al-khaleej.
He states that there has been a strong trend within the Saudi Football Association, regarding the increase in the number of foreign players in the Saudi Roshen League, but the Green coach objects to that idea.
