Decision from Busic at Al-Ahli after Sundowns loss

Dutch coach Marino Pusic of Al-Ahli has granted the team's players a 7-day break from collective training after the squad's return from South Africa.

The decision came after Al-Ahli lost 2-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns FC in the Confederations Cup, causing the team to exit the tournament following the match that took place in South Africa.

The break coincided with growing uncertainty surrounding Bousset's future, amid reports suggesting Al-Ahli's management wants to terminate his contract due to inconsistent results recently.

According to circulating reports, Al-Ahli's management has begun studying a number of coaching names proposed to succeed Boscovic, in preparation for making a final decision regarding the future of the team's coaching staff.

The future of the Dutch coach is expected to be determined in the coming days as collective training comes to a halt, with anticipation within the club to see whether Pusic will continue his role or depart.
