In an effort to make a qualitative leap in artistic work in preparation for the new season, Al-Students Club is just a few steps away from contracting with Qatari coach Talal Ali Al-Balushi to lead the first team, in a deal that has sparked the interest of followers and ignited the enthusiasm of the elegant fans, especially in light of the experiences the coach possesses within the Iraqi Stars League.

According to a special source at Al-Rabia Sports Channel, the agreement with Al-Balushi is nearly complete, and the official announcement is expected in the coming days, pending the final details of the contract.

Talal Al-Balushi is considered one of the well-known names in the Gulf arena, having previously had a distinguished experience in Iraq with Zakho Club, where he delivered a remarkable performance and achieved good results, making him a target for many clubs looking for a coach with modern artistic thinking and a distinctive leadership personality.

According to the same source, the Qatari coach will bring with him a fully foreign technical staff, including an assistant coach, a fitness coach, and a goalkeeper coach, in a step that reflects Al-Students Club's desire to build a comprehensive professional system, relying on modern training methods and tactical discipline that keeps pace with the recent developments in Iraqi football.

This step comes at a sensitive time for Al-Students Club, as it seeks to rebuild the team and return to the podiums after a season that did not meet the aspirations of its large fan base.

On their part, the opinions of Al-Students fans on social media varied, with some welcoming the choice of a young and ambitious Gulf coach, while others expressed concerns about a new adventure that may take a long time to succeed, especially since most of the team's elements are young and need clear administrative and technical stability.

However, it is certain that the club's management is moving this time with a different spirit and is working quietly to close the technical staff file early, in order to focus on building the team and preparing the players according to the vision of the new technical staff.

If the deal is finalized officially, Al-Students Club will be the first club in the Iraqi league to choose a fully foreign coaching staff for this season, which reflects new ambitions and a determination to return to the forefront, in a manner befitting the history of this prestigious club.
