Al-Raed Club has officially announced the signing of Croatian coach Krzysztof Rzeźniczak, replacing Brazilian Eder Helman, in a surprising move ahead of an important match against Al-Qadisiyah.

The dismissal of Helman came after the approval of the Financial Sustainability Committee, as the club's management felt that the team needed a swift technical change before the decisive encounter.

The Croatian coach did not wait long, as he immediately began overseeing the team, focusing on preparing the players for the semi-final match of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup.

Al-Raed faces a crucial match this evening, Wednesday, against Al-Qadisiyah, as the team seeks to achieve a victory that will bring them back into the spotlight after a decline in their league results.

Al-Raed currently occupies the eighteenth position in the Roshan Saudi League standings with 18 points, placing them under significant pressure to improve their results and avoid relegation.
