Former Saudi Arabia player Meshal Al-Said has made optimistic predictions about Donis’ future, stressing that the coach has the ambition and potential to make him one of the most famous coaches to ever play Saudi football.

“Coach Dennis’s ambition can make him the best coach in the history of Saudi Arabian football,” Al-Said told the Saudi “Riyadiya” network that the next round is a great opportunity for the coach to leave a unique mark on the national team.
