The 48-river Gallardo has left the club from falling leaves of the past.
Al-Ittihad confirmed that Marcelo Gallardo has been hired as head coach.
President of the Saudi Arabian club Luai Nazer said that the Argentinean made serious concessions, in order to take the 2022 Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema from the team..
" This is due to an unknown part of the Saudi Arabian project and the club.
As for the need for a new coach, we have two or three options,” journalist Fabrizio Romano quotes Al-Ittihad President as saying.
The 48-river Gallardo has cleared Al-Ittihad from the falling leaves of the past. Last season, the team under his leadership took second place in the national championship.
