Al-Shorta Signs Tunisian Coach Sami Al-Trabelsi

Al-Shorta has officially announced the signing of Tunisian coach Sami Al-Trabelsi to lead the first team for the 2026-2027 season in the Iraqi Premier League and the AFC Cup 2.

The club's management released an official statement through its official channels, stating:

"Al-Shorta Sports Club announces the signing of the esteemed Tunisian coach Sami Al-Trabelsi to take over the technical leadership of the first team.

Al-Trabelsi is a prominent name in the coaching world with extensive experience at both the Arab and international levels, and we are confident in his ability to lead the Green Lyre towards achieving its desired goals.

The club's management confirms that it will provide all necessary resources to the coach and will meet all his technical and administrative needs officially to ensure the success of his mission.

We welcome Captain Sami to the Al-Shorta family and wish him success in leading the team in local and continental competitions."

Sami Al-Trabelsi has ample experience working in professional environments. He previously coached the Tunisian national team, leading them in several official occasions and gaining significant experience in managing groups and handling public pressure.

At the club level, Al-Trabelsi coached Al-Siliya in Qatar, leaving a clear mark through his tactical work and technical discipline. His style relies on defensive organization and quick transitions, which the Green Lyre needs for external competitions.

The management of Al-Shorta aims for Al-Trabelsi to provide the necessary service for the team, especially with the club participating in the AFC Cup 2 alongside competing for the local league title.

Signing a coach with experience in national teams and Gulf clubs indicates that the management is looking for a coach familiar with the region's atmosphere, capable of dealing with both foreign and local players simultaneously.

Moreover, the management's promise to provide everything the coach officially requests reflects a serious desire to grant him the freedom to work and build a team capable of competing on all fronts.
