Spanish coach threatens Donis's future with Saudi national team

Media figure Muteb Al-Hazzaa has revealed the possibility of Greek Georgios Donis leaving his role as coach of the Saudi national team in the near future, noting that a Spanish name is being considered to replace him.

Al-Hazzaa stated during his appearance on the programme "Nadina": "According to my information, Donis will leave and there is a Spanish coach to take over the Green," which raised questions about the future of the coaching staff.

This news comes despite Donis being under contract with the Saudi Football Federation until July 2027, after taking charge of the national team in April 2026.

Regarding the potential candidate to succeed him, the name of Spanish coach Roberto Martínez has been circulated among the names proposed to take on the managerial role of the Saudi national team.

No official announcement has been made confirming that the Saudi Federation is in negotiations with Martínez, or that an agreement has been reached with him regarding leading the national team during the upcoming phase.

The fate of Donis with the Saudi national team remains uncertain pending an official stance from the Saudi Football Federation, whether it confirms his continuation or announces a change in the coaching leadership.
