He has remained without a job since then but will now manage Al Ettifaq in what is a clear continuation of the revolution in the Saudi Pro League.
Ettifaq finished seventh in the league last season and will be hoping their new man can inspire them to a better place in the 16-team league when the next season kicks off.
