According to press reports, the Al-litthad Club is reaching an agreement with Argentine coach Marcelo Gallardo, which followed a vote at a meeting of the club’s board of directors on the choice between him and Spain’s Lubtegui.
Al-litthad Club had briefly sacked their coach, Nuno Santo, because of the poor results of the last period in saudi professional league, and before the start of the Club World Cup, which jeddah is hosting less than a month later.
The itthad jeddah Club has entered into negotiations with several international coaches, including France’s Zidane, Roy Vitoria, as well as José Mourinho, Spain’s Lubtegui and other highly experienced coaches, all so that the team can return to success again and make strong performances at the most important tournament, which is being held for the first time in the Kingdom, the Club World Cup.
The Spanish newspaper AS revealed on Wednesday that Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui rejected the offer made by the Saudi Federation club.
She wrote that Lopetegui would not train French star Karim Benzema.
“The great goal of the former Spanish head coach and Real Madrid team is to find a seat to coach a Premier League club.”
It reported Tuesday that Argentina’s Marcelo Gallardo approached the training of the Saudi Football League Champions Federation, succeeding Portuguese Nuno Espirito Santo
