The Saudi Arabian Football Federation has finalized its agreement with Georgios Donis to take over as the head coach of the Saudi national team for the upcoming phase, succeeding the former coach Hervé Renard.

This move came after the decision to part ways with Renard, as officials wish to open a new chapter at the technical staff level ahead of the upcoming international commitments.

Donis's contract extends for one season, during which he will immediately begin his task of overseeing the preparation of the team for upcoming competitions.

The Greek coach will face a significant challenge as he leads the "Green" team in three important tournaments, foremost among them the 2026 World Cup.

His mission also includes competing in the Gulf Cup, in addition to participating in the Asian Cup in the upcoming period.

This step reflects the Saudi Federation's confidence in Donis's abilities to restore balance to the team and build a strong competitive project.

Saudi fans are eagerly anticipating what the new coach will bring, especially with the limited time before major events, which increases the magnitude of the challenges ahead.
