Sérgio Conceição is expected to be officially announced in the coming hours as the new coach of Al Ittihad, according to Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specialized in the transfer market who also reveals the composition of the technical staff that will accompany the former Portuguese international.
The Saudi club, previously managed by Nuno Espírito Santo, has been without a coach since the departure of Frenchman Laurent Blanc and has Danilo Pereira and Roger in its squad, the latter having been signed from Sp. Braga in the last transfer window.
According to the Italian journalist, Sérgio Conceição is expected to sign a contract valid until June 2027 and will have the support of João Costa, Siramana Dembélé, Fábio Moura, Diamantino Figueiredo, and Vedran Runje in his technical staff, with analyst Eduardo Oliveira completing the team.
