Saudi Arabia Names New Soccer Coach, Donis

0:00On April 24, Saudi Arabia just dropped a big move in soccer, naming Greek coach George Eos Donis as the new head of their national team until July, 2027. This comes right after parting ways with Frenchman, Hervé, Renard, and it's less than two months out from the World Cup kicking off in North America. Donis, a 56-year-old veteran, brings experience from steering top European clubs like AEK Athens and PAOK in Greece. The Saudi Football Federation made the announcement on X after sorting out Renard's contract details. Fans and pundits are buzzing about the timing, especially since Renard returned for a second stint this year and guided the three-time Asian champs through World Cup qualifying. They'll face a tough groupage with Spain, Uruguay, and Cape Verde. The Federation plans a press conference in Riat soon, introducing the full coaching staff before the squad heads to a training camp in the United States. With the June July tournament co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico on the horizon, Saudi's wrapping up prep under Donis to make another splash-on, the global stage.
