Once again following the Iberian road. On past July 8th
Luis Fonseca
Cilleros announced that he was parting ways with
Saudi Arabia
's FA, leaving their national team bench, together with his Portuguese assistant
Estevão Cordovil
.
So at that time the question was: who's gonna replace him? Some whispers in the last weeks were talking about former Barça's trainer
Andreu Plaza
Alvarez, who ended his experience of almost 10 years in Barcelona (spent between the "filial" roster and the A team) with one more
1° RFEF
title in the grand final vs underdogs Levante.
Maybe not the only name on Saudi Arabia management notebook (Marquinhos Xavier confirmed that the Asian country probed his availability as well in his recent interview with us:

), but in the end the final choice is talking Spanish again:
Andreu Plaza
is the new Saudi Arabia's coach. More known names in the staff, like the assistant coach
Alberto Arteaga
, who has been confirmed from previous technical group headed by Luis Fonseca. Confirmed also
Roy Blanche
who will keep working as goalkeepers coach. The Spanish
Daniel Berdejo-del-Fresno
, previously in Libya's staff during the CAF Futsal Championships 2020, will act as sports scientist and assistant coach. The Moroccan
Fouad Amrani
is back in the staff as well.
