Saudi Arabia: Al-Ittihad officially announces the departure of Sergio Conceição

The Saudi club Al-Ittihad has announced the termination of its contract with Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição. The split between the two parties was made official by the club's management, bringing an end to a partnership that had generated high expectations within the Saudi League.

This decision comes amid widespread speculation about the Portuguese manager's future. In recent weeks, his name had been linked to several Serie A sides, fueling rumors of a potential return to Europe.

A new chapter begins

Known for his competitive spirit and top-level experience, Sergio Conceição leaves the Saudi league after a stint that ultimately fell short of the club’s stated ambitions. So far, neither Al-Ittihad nor the coach has provided further details about the terms of this separation.

An uncertain future

Now a free agent, the former FC Porto head coach is already attracting interest from several clubs. His vast experience and track record continue to make him a sought-after figure on the managerial market, especially as several benches may open up during the off-season.

Sergio Conceição’s next move will be closely followed in the coming weeks, both in Europe and the Middle East.
