The Board of Directors of Al-Karma Club decided to grant coach Issam Hamad an open leave, following the decline in the team's performance and results in recent matches, after losing this evening to Nawroz with a last-minute goal.

The administrative decision came to put an end to the series of negative results that have plagued the 'Sons of Ramadi' in the recent rounds, and have put the team in a spiral of losing points with 5 rounds remaining before the conclusion of the Iraqi Stars League.

Al-Karma's loss to Nawroz this evening was not the first in the series of setbacks, but it confirmed that the team is suffering from a clear results crisis. Before that, Al-Karma settled for a draw with Al-Qasim, who is at the bottom of the rankings, in a result considered a shock to the fans.

The series of draws did not stop there, as the team also drew 1-1 with Al-Karkh and with Al-Shorta with the same result, before losing to Nawroz in the final minutes.

Looking at Al-Karma's last 5 matches in the league, the extent of the team's decline is evident. The tally was one win, three draws, and one loss, totaling 6 points out of a possible 15.

These results directly affected the team's position in the standings, causing fans to question the reasons for losing points against lower-level teams, especially the draw with Al-Qasim at the bottom of the rankings and the last-minute loss to Nawroz.

In light of this situation, the club's board of directors decided to grant coach Issam Hamad an open leave, considering that 'the decline in performance and results in recent matches' is the main reason behind the decision.
