The legal advisor Ahmed Al-Sheikhi revealed important details regarding the contractual situation of the French coach Hervé Renard and the Greek Georgios Donis, amidst the ongoing debate about coaching the Saudi national team.

Al-Sheikhi confirmed that the current contracts for both coaches remain in effect as they are, without any formal agreements signed with alternative parties so far.

He clarified that any official announcement from the Saudi Arabian Football Federation regarding the hiring of a new coach could entail legal obligations towards Renard.

He pointed out that handling this phase requires great precision to avoid any potential legal repercussions that might affect the union in the future.

Al-Sheikhi praised the football federation's approach, affirming its professionalism in not commenting on media leaks that attempt to influence the course of negotiations.

He also praised the position of Al-Khaleej Club and its cooperation with the federation's desire to negotiate with Donis, noting that the procedures are proceeding naturally from a legal standpoint so far.
