Former Porto boss close to becoming Trincão's coach at Al Ahli | OneFootball

The transfer market continues to bring unexpected changes, and there is a new development involving Al Ahli, the club that recently secured the signing of Francisco Trincão. The move is expected to impact the structure of the Saudi club and is being closely followed in Portugal.

The name chosen to take charge is Vítor Pereira. According to information reported by Sacha Tavolieri, the Portuguese coach is already in talks with Al Ahli and is seen as the top priority to replace Matthias Jaissle, who is on his way to Newcastle. Available on the market after leaving Nottingham Forest, the former Porto manager could now return to Saudi football.

Vítor Pereira’s possible arrival would allow the coach to reunite with a league he knows well. The Portuguese managed Al Shabab between 2023 and 2024 and also previously had a spell at Al Ahli itself, in the 2013/14 season, a factor that works in his favor in the negotiations.

If the deal is reached, the 58-year-old coach will have a squad full of quality at his disposal, featuring Trincão, as well as Galeno, the former Brazilian forward for Porto, who also represents the Saudi club.

The official announcement could come in the next few days if the talks are successfully concluded. Al Ahli wants to quickly wrap up the coaching file in order to prepare for the new season and begin a new cycle with a face well known in Portuguese football.
