Benzema Paves the Way for a European Revolution at Al-Ittihad
Monday 05-05-2025
Since the moment Frenchman Karim Benzema joined Al-Ittihad Saudi Club, the aspirations of the "Al-Amid" fans have risen unprecedentedly, both locally and in Asia, and the biggest dream is to win the AFC Champions League title.

However, Benzema's influence is not limited to scoring and making a difference on the pitch; his impact has extended to become a magnet for prominent European names capable of making a qualitative leap for the prestigious Saudi club.

Benzema's first "gift" could be significant, as strong reports are circulating about the potential arrival of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has a close relationship with Benzema from their days at Real Madrid.

Ancelotti has a golden record in major European competitions and is known for his ability to build teams capable of winning titles, as well as his unique discipline and tactics in harnessing stars for collective work.

In addition to the technical aspect, previous reports indicate that there are real negotiations with Croatian star Luka Modric and Spanish player Lucas Vazquez to join Al-Ittihad in the upcoming period.

Modric, despite his age, still possesses sharp vision on the pitch and precise passing, while Vazquez is a versatile player capable of serving any coach with his flexible tactics and fighting spirit. Modric and Vazquez support the continental project.

What connects these three names—Ancelotti, Modric, and Vazquez—is their shared history with Benzema within the golden generation of Real Madrid that has won the UEFA Champions League multiple times.

This previous harmony could translate into immediate chemistry within the corridors of Al-Ittihad, where the system is built on a mentality of collective victory and rare experience in managing major matches.

What Al-Ittihad seeks is not just media signings, but attracting a seasoned European football mentality in winning titles and translating this experience on Asian soil, led by Benzema.

If these steps are completed, Al-Ittihad Club will be on the verge of an unprecedented football project in the region, reshaping the map of Asian competition in the spirit of Real Madrid.
