José Gomes, the coach of Al-Fateh, settled the debate about his future following rumors linking him to coaching Al-Ahli. The Portuguese coach clarified that Al-Fateh's management recently contacted his agent to discuss the continuation of his tenure.

He confirmed that negotiations are still ongoing without reaching a final agreement so far, and he expressed his comfort within the club, with discussions about his future continuing in the coming period.

These statements come in conjunction with reports about Al Ahly of Egypt's interest in signing him. On another note, Gomez spoke about the upcoming match against Al Shabab in the Roshan League.

He confirmed that the recent victory gave the team a morale boost and great confidence ahead of the upcoming match, and emphasized the need to play with a fighting spirit to achieve a positive result.

He explained that the youth team's exit from a previous tournament might serve as an additional motivation for them or as a pressure factor. He also pointed out that tactical changes depend on the nature of the opponent while maintaining the team's identity.

Al-Fateh is scheduled to meet Al-Shabab on Tuesday as part of the thirtieth round, with both teams entering the match with an equal tally of 31 points each.
