Al-Shabab Club to Part Ways with Spanish Coach Juanito Guashel

The Saudi Al-Shabab club intends to part ways with its Spanish coach Juanito Guashel, according to reliable sources from the Riyadh-based club. The team is struggling in the Saudi Pro League, sitting in 13th place with 7 points after 8 matches, featuring just one win, four draws, and three losses. For the club's management to terminate the contract with the Spanish coach, it must first obtain financial approval from the Committee for Clubs' Financial Sustainability. This will allow for a change that will entail financial repercussions for both the new incoming coach and the outgoing one. In an effort to improve results, the capital club has appointed its former player Naif Al-Anzi as the team's new sporting director to leverage his past technical experience as both a player and a coach.
