Informed sources confirmed that Spanish coach Michel Gonzalez is still in the confidence of Al-Qadsiah's sports director Carlos Anton, reinforcing his position to continue leading the team after a heavy loss to Al-Ahli.

Despite internal and external calls for Gonzalez's dismissal after the 5-1 defeat in the Super Cup semi-final, the administration believes that technical stability is a priority, especially following the team's impressive performance last season, including reaching the King's Cup final and finishing fourth in the league.

Criticism is focused on the overly defensive style adopted by the coach against big teams, which diminishes the effectiveness of some stars; however, his record of victories against most league teams supports his position and demonstrates the overall success of his technical project.

Al-Qadsiah is preparing for the league's kickoff with a match against newly promoted Al-Najma, in a test that will determine Gonzalez's future, while the sports director continues to support the coach in front of the local and international media, confirming that the extension of his contract until 2027 was carefully considered.

On the players' front, the future of Argentine Eki Hernandez is concerning the administration, following Bayer Leverkusen's offer of 30 million euros, which may push the club to look for a global replacement like French N'Golo Kante, while the team has been reinforced with new local and foreign elements to enhance technical balance.

Recently, several players, such as Abdul Rahman Al-Dosari and Guga, have left, while the club has retained the majority of its players with some important adjustments to strengthen the team's lineup in preparation for the upcoming season.
