Fathi Jebali Begins Journey with Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in Egypt Camp
Tunisian Fathi Jebali begins his mission with Al Quwa Al Jawiya from the team's camp in Egypt, preparing for a new season that carries significant challenges in the Iraqi Premier League and the AFC Champions League, where the "Falcons" will be the sole representative of Iraq in the continental tournament.
Al Quwa Al Jawiya was crowned the Iraqi Premier League champion on June 2, ending Al-Shorta's reign over the competition and benefiting from the missteps of their traditional rivals. The team returned to the podium after a four-season absence under the guidance of Omani coach Rashid Jaber.
Despite the management's attempts to retain him, Rachid Jaber has decided to leave the team right after the championship victory. With his departure confirmed, the Falcons' management has turned to Tunisian coach Fathi Jebali to take over the role, with his official duties set to begin during the training camp in Egypt that started today, Tuesday.
The new coach will join the team's delegation in Egypt and will conduct his first training session on Wednesday. He will have ample time to get to know the players' capabilities up close, especially since the camp will feature several friendly matches against Egyptian clubs.
The coach has requested to play four friendly matches during the training camp, which extends until August 4, in order to accurately evaluate the physical and technical readiness of the players. The camp will also see the immediate joining of new professionals to the training sessions under the supervision of the coaching staff.
Al Quwa Al Jawiya is set to make several new signings during their time in Egypt. The management is looking for professionals from the African continent to strengthen the positions identified by the coach, in preparation for the upcoming domestic season and the significant Asian championship.
Fans are relying on Fathi Al-Jabali's experience to manage the upcoming phase, especially with the pressure of matches between the league and the continental tournament, which the Falcons enter with the ambition of representing Iraq in the best possible light.
