Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabian football club Al-Fateh has announced the signing of Portuguese coach Jose Gomez, formerly of Egyptian club Zamalek. The club released a welcoming video on social media, sparking excitement among fans.

Gomez is no stranger to Saudi football. He previously coached Al-Tawun and Al-Ahli, even leading the latter to victory in the Saudi Super Cup. His experience and tactical acumen are expected to provide a much-needed boost to Al-Fateh’s struggling campaign.
