Conceicao is on the verge of leaving the federation

Portuguese Wall Sergio ConceicaoThe Al-Ittihad coach is set to leave the dean’s office this summer.

Mercato expert Fabrizio Romano wrote in his microblog of the “X” network: “Urgent…Sergio Conceicao is set to step down as Al-Ittihad’s technical director after terminating his contract with the club by mutual consent.”

“The Portuguese coach is in talks with the federation to discuss contract agreements and will then be available to listen to offers from European clubs interested in signing him.”

Conseissa had taken over at the Deccan, replacing Frenchman Laurent Blanc, who left after a season of nothing at all levels, be it in the Saudi Roshen League, the King’s Cup or the elite AFC Champions League.

These developments came days after Al-Ittihad’s humiliating 1-5 loss to Al-Qadisiya at the end of the Roshan League saw the team finish their season in fifth place, far from the aspirations of their fans.
