Al-Diriyah Club's management has officially announced the signing of Dutch coach Alfred Schroder to lead the team in the Yelo League until the end of the season, in a move aimed at continuing their journey to promotion to the Professional League.

Sources close to the matter revealed that the agreement between the club and Schröder was made about two weeks ago, but the official announcement was delayed until the arrangements with the former French coach Sabri Lamouchi, who was recently dismissed, were finalized.

This contract marks Schröder's first coaching experience in Saudi Arabia, following a long career in Europe that included managing prominent clubs in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, with his most recent position being at Ajax Amsterdam until January 2023.

The Dutch coach is renowned for his expertise in team development and enhancing tactical performance, making him the ideal choice to fulfill Al-Dariyah's ambitions of competing for promotion this season.

The club hopes to benefit from Schröder's European experience to enhance the team's level and achieve positive early results, relying on a balanced tactical plan and investing in the current players' abilities.

Al-Diriyah also counts on the support of its large fan base, which is an important factor in the team's success and backing throughout the journey to promotion to the Professional League, while delivering a performance worthy of the club's history and ambitions.
