Al Ittihad’s coaching file remains in focus as the club awaits the practical arrangements for Sérgio Conceição’s arrival in Jeddah to take charge on the training ground.
The Saudi club had previously announced Conceição on a contract running until 2028 following the departure of French coach Laurent Blanc.
There is no fresh official confirmation of the exact arrival hour or first training programme, so the detailed timing remains under monitoring until a direct club update is issued.
Al Ittihad fans are expecting a strong start from the Portuguese coach, who has major experience with Porto and AC Milan and is familiar with working under high pressure.
His main challenge will be to restore technical stability quickly and prepare the squad for the next competitive phase with as little disruption as possible.
