The Saudi Football Federation resolved the controversy over the future of the first team’s technical staff, categorically denying the news circulating regarding the departure of Greek coach Georgios Donis from his position.
The Federation confirmed, in an official statement, the continuation of work with the technical staff in accordance with the drawn up plans and approved technical strategies, stressing that the follow-up and evaluation process is proceeding normally in preparation for future international requirements.
Press reports were raised on the “Our Club” program, claiming that Denis was close to coaching “Al-Akhdar” by 99 percent, coinciding with what “Al-Riyadh” newspaper indicated that there were ongoing negotiations with Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz, the former coach of the Ghana national team, to succeed him in leading the Saudi national team.
