Former River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo headed Al-Ittihad, which is supported by French footballers Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante. This is reported by the press service of the Saudi club.
The Argentine coach signed an agreement with the new team for a year and a half. The 47-year—old specialist has worked with only two teams during his coaching career - Uruguay's Nacional and Argentina's River Plate. The latter were headed by Gallardo for eight years. Under his leadership, River Plate won 13 trophies, including becoming the champion of Argentina and the winner of the Copa Libertadores (twice).
At the moment, Al-Ittihad is in fifth place in the Saudi Arabian championship, 11 points behind the leading Al-Hilal. |
