Sports critic Hussein Abdul Ghani sparked widespread controversy with his statements regarding the future of French coach Laurent Blanc with Al-Ittihad Club, despite his success in leading the team to win the league title.

Abdul Ghani confirmed during his appearance on the program 'Dourina Ghair' that he does not expect Blanc to remain at the helm of the coaching staff for Al-Ittihad at the beginning of the 2025/2026 season, indicating that he might be dismissed after just 8 rounds.

Although the French coach has brought Al-Ittihad back to the championship podium and is close to winning the King's Cup, Abdul Ghani believes that these achievements will not be enough to guarantee his long-term stay.

The critic pointed out that the pressures that will be imposed on Blanc in the new season will be harsh, which could lead to a decision to dismiss him early if he does not achieve a strong start.

Abdul Ghani's statements have opened the door to debate among fans, especially since Blanc had a remarkable season, but the future of coaches in the Roshen League is always linked to results and pressures.
