A file picture from the Qatar Stars League match between Al Arabi and Al Kharaitiyat played at Al Khor Stadium on October 16, 2016.
Al Kharaitiyat Head of Football Mansoor Moussa has revealed in an interview with QSL online that Tunisian Ahmed Al Ajlani is the number one candidate for the vacant coach's post at Thunders, after Kharaitiyat relieved Bosnian coach Amar Osim of his duties in round six.
“After we have reached an initial agreement with the Tunisian coach, the final contract shall be signed upon the arrival of the coach. The duration of the contract is not determined yet,” Moussa said.
“Osim did his best efforts with the team and we would like to thank him deeply for the whole period he spent with the side. In fact, he developed the team significantly whilst with us. Unfortunately, he didn’t have luck this season and therefore it was time to move on,” commented Moussa, on the sacking of Osim. Moussa urged the football players not to committ the same mistakes from the previous rounds.
“Al Kharaitiyat is better than this and we are awaiting more from the players. I urge them to be fiercer in the future games.”
Al Kharaitiyat is currently in twelfth place in the QSL standings, and will take on fellow strugglers Al Sailiya when the QSL resumes after the international break.
Meanwhile, Al Sadd has announced that young striker Abdulaziz Al Jalabi is set for a four week spell on the sidelines after injuring his knee.
In other news, Al Sadd resumed training ahead of their round seven match against Al Wakrah, slated for November 20.
The training session saw the absence of several key players who have been called to represent their respective national sides.
Al Sadd is currently in second place in the QSL standings, and has yet to be beaten this term. They have fourteen points from six QSL games.
