Al-Ittihad announced the appointment of Jens Wessing as the head coach of the team.

The 38-year German specialist has signed a contract until the summer of 2028. At this time, he replaced the Portuguese mentor Sergio Conceicao.

Before moving to Saudi Arabia, Wessing worked from the Japanese Gamba Osaka, but withdrew from Jay-Lisa. He worked as an assistant coach at PSV, Benfice and Salzburg.

Now the young coach has earned a lot of money from his career, having coached one of the top clubs in Saudi Arabia.

Last season, Al-Ittihad failed to recover from sickness, finishing the Saudi Arabian championship in fifth place.. The club believes that the arrival of Vissing will allow the team to return to fighting for the championship title.
