Coming off a defeat against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr (0-2), on September 26, Al-Ittihad decided to part ways with Laurent Blanc.

In search of a successor to the “President”, the Jeddah-based club has decided to bet on Sergio Conceiçao. Free since his departure from Milan, the technician has signed his contract until 2027, announces Fabrizio Romano.

The former Nantes coach arrives in Saudi Arabia with his technical staff: Joao Costa, Siramana Dembélé, Fábio Moura, Diamantino Figueiredo, Vedran Runje, as well as analyst Eduardo Oliveira.

The band of Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kanté are third in the Saudi Pro League after four days, three points behind leader Al-Nassr.
