Al-Ittihad Club president Fahd Sindi initiated an urgent session with French coach Laurent Blanc, attended by sports director Ramon Planes, to discuss the repercussions of the harsh defeat against Al-Wahda from both performance and result perspectives.

The meeting took place amid charged atmospheres and significant fan pressure, as the board aims to diagnose the reasons behind the technical decline and seek practical solutions to ensure the team quickly returns to competition before the crisis worsens.

This meeting represents a pivotal moment in Al-Ittihad's journey, with expectations varying between maintaining confidence in the coaching staff or opening a new chapter that may include extensive changes at the technical leadership level.

Media figure Hamza Al-Sayed approached the loss from a different perspective, considering that the defeat at this timing could serve as a positive wake-up call, akin to a 'charity to avert calamity', before facing the more crucial competitions of the season.

Al-Sayed emphasized that salvaging the situation is still possible, provided decisive decisions are made, foremost among them terminating Laurent Blanc's contract and signing a foreign goalkeeper capable of compensating for any potential absence of Rajkovic.

He also stressed the importance of formulating a clear technical identity for the team based on harmony between lines and executing effective tactical plays that create goals and establish a solid defense, warning that neglecting these aspects will only lead to further failures.
