On Tuesday evening, the al-itthad of Jeddah administration, headed by Luai Nazir, announced the termination of its contract with Argentina’s Marcelo Giardo, the dean’s technical director.
The club’s official account on the X platform published a statement, saying: “The al-itthad Club announces the termination of the contractual relationship with the first team football coach, Marcelo Giardo.. The club wished the coach well in his next career ”
At the beginning of last season, the Brigadier General appointed the Argentine coach to succeed Portuguese Nuno Santo.
But he clashed with management in many files, most notably his lack of conviction with French star Karim Benzema, whose stay in the Federation depended on Jayardo getting rid of.
The dean had ended the past season disastrously, with no title, either locally or continentally.
Luai Nazir, president of the new Jeddah Federation Club, earlier revealed his intention to sack Argentine coach Marcelo Giardo.
“Coach Jayardo committed many irregularities and demanded Karim Benzema’s departure, which is unacceptable.”
“Jayardo asked for Benzema’s departure, which is unacceptable after pumping large sums for the inclusion of the player. We prefer 3 names after we decided to sack the Argentine coach “.
Jayardo led the Etihad through 33 games and won 15 matches, drawing 4 games and losing 15 games in all competitions.
