Jose Peseiro has been named the new head coach of Saudi First Division League side Al-Ula FC.
The Portuguese tactician, who previously coached the Super Eagles, last held the reins at Egyptian giants Zamalek but was relieved of his duties after just four months in charge.
The 65-year-old while reacting to his appointment expressed excitement and determination to succeed with his new club.
“Very proud to start this new chapter at AlUla FC,” Peseiro wrote on his Facebook page. “More than just a club, I embrace the mission to represent a historic region with an incredible vision for the future. The ambition here is huge, and so is my motivation.
“Thank you for the trust and the warm welcome. Time to get to work.” Al-Ula FC are currently fourth on the Saudi First Division League table, and Peseiro will be tasked with guiding the club to promotion to the Saudi Pro League.
