Saud Abdul Hamid, ‌the 25-year-old former Al Hilal Saudi club defender, is eagerly ‌awaiting his first appearance ‍with ⁣his new team, Italian club​ Roma. This milestone will cement ‍his place in ‍history as the first Saudi ⁢player⁢ to participate in Italian league games after signing with a Calcio⁣ team.

Despite joining Roma nearly ⁢a‍ month ago, Saud Abdul Hamid ‍has yet to make his debut.⁤ Coach Daniele De Rossi,⁤ who orchestrated his‍ signing, has ⁢left the team, and new⁣ coach Ivan Juric has not included him in ‍the ‌match‌ against Udinese. Although Roma ⁢quickly took the lead, Juric could‌ have given him an opportunity to appear, especially with a ⁢large ⁤number of Roma fans in attendance.

In ⁤a recent press conference, as reported by Corriere dello Sport, coach Juric expressed his confidence ​in ‌Saud Abdul Hamid’s potential. Juric stated, “He needs time. He has ideal ⁣qualities, but this is‌ a big step for him. I am ‍confident that he will get his chance and he will ‌succeed.”

While coach Juric did ⁤not specify ‍a date‌ for Saud Abdul Hamid’s debut, Roma’s upcoming matches may prompt him ⁣to adopt a rotation policy,‍ giving‍ the player an opportunity to shine. Roma will face⁢ Spanish Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League on Thursday, and ⁢Juric may consider including Saud Abdul Hamid‌ in the lineup.
