Reports have announced the departure of Spanish Mark Bouikasa, the sports director at Al-Hilal, after a tenure of one and a half seasons within the club's administrative staff.

According to the newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah", Bouikasa officially submitted his resignation from his position before the start of Al-Hilal's journey in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, without disclosing the reasons behind his sudden decision.

Bouikasa joined Al-Hilal in March 2024, where he was entrusted with the full supervision of football affairs within the club, coordinating the technical and administrative matters related to the first team.

Bouikasa's departure at this sensitive time has raised questions within the corridors of Al-Hilal, especially as the team is facing continental and global challenges that require administrative and technical stability.

In light of these developments, Al-Hilal's management has begun searching for a new sports director to succeed Bouikasa in his position, to ensure the team's optimal readiness before the start of the new season.
