Portuguese coach Nuno Santo of the first football team of the Saudi club Al-Ittihad excluded the team’s star from participation in the King Salman Club Cup.
The Tigers are experiencing a renaissance in the current period, led by Santo, after a historic season he introduced, adding that he has a golden formation.
Among the Tigers were two outstanding contracts, namely former French Real Madrid First Team star Karim Benzema and Chelsea First Team star N’Golo Kante, with a contract that extends to 3 seasons, i.e. until June 2026, along with Portuguese Jota.
Al-Ittihad coach rules out team star for this very reason
Nuno Santo has decided to exclude Nureddin Al-Bahar from the list of the team participating in the Arab Championship, which will be held this month, due to the lack of physical fitness of the player.
Al-Bahar has returned to training for the Tigers of late as he recovers from an ACL injury he suffered last season.
