Hij zat bij Almer\u00eda en zij degradeerden. Hij zat bij Guangzhou en zij degradeerden. Hij zat bij Gorica en ook zij degradeerden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De analist benadrukte dat het nationaal elftal een coach nodig heeft met een bewezen en stabiele staat van dienst, vooral met cruciale kwalificatiewedstrijden voor het WK 2026 in het vooruitzicht. Hij is van mening dat het team een figuur nodig heeft die een langetermijnproject kan opbouwen, niet iemand wiens recente geschiedenis een patroon van kortetermijnproblemen suggereert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hebben een coach nodig die stabiliteit in zijn carri\u00e8re heeft en over een duidelijke voetbalfilosofie beschikt,\u201d concludeerde Al-Hamdan, waarmee hij aanzienlijke twijfel uitdrukte over de vraag of Contra de man is om de Groene Valken vooruit te leiden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Saudi Arabian international Fahad Al-Hamdan has launched a strong critique of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation&#8217;s decision to appoint [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAow_uzEDA:productID":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-football-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
