Reports: Jamal Al-Salami close to managing Al-Fateh

Moroccan Jamal Salami is close to taking charge of Al-Fateh, preparing to succeed Khalid Al-Attwi amid a decline in results and a poor start to the team's campaign in the Saudi Pro League this season.

Al-Fateh's management is just a few steps away from the official announcement of Al-Salami taking over the role, after the team under Al-Otaibi's leadership failed to deliver the expected level and results.

Al-Fateh sit 15th in the Saudi Pro League table with 3 points, prompting strong consideration for a change in the coaching staff amid continued poor results.

Salami is 55 years old and has a diverse coaching record with clubs and national teams, giving him extensive experience ahead of a potential stint with Al-Fateh in the Saudi Pro League.

Abdulaziz Al-Salami's experience with the Jordan national team stands out as his most significant coaching milestone, having led the team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026 before nearing a move to Al-Fateh.
