Al Sadd is interested in hiring Bruno Lage to lead the technical team of the Qatari club. The former coach of Benfica was fired by the club's President, Rui Costa, following two negative results, but he already has offers to continue his career.
The information is advanced by the newspaper A Bola. Al Sadd approached Bruno Lage last Tuesday, September 30, and the Portuguese coach has already started talks with the Qatari club, to understand the conditions offered and the nature of the club's sports project.
At the moment, the values on the table, proposed by Al Sadd to convince Bruno Lage, are not known. However, if the recent trend continues, the truth is that the former Benfica coach could be facing a millionaire proposal, within what is paid by Middle Eastern clubs, especially to established European elements.
Al Sadd's openness to finding a new technical team is due to the fact that the Qatari club has not won any games during the month of September. Therefore, the Qatari management's desire is to terminate the current coach, Félix Sánchez, and find a new man to lead the team which, at this moment, is in seventh place in the national championship.
Bruno Lage, on the other hand, continues to look for the next adventure after leaving Benfica. The former Benfica coach wants to get back to work quickly, and has already received some approaches to this effect, coming from Egypt and Russia, but none have convinced the Portuguese helmsman so far.
