On the pitch: Where I am now and next steps

Hello everyone! It’s a pleasure to be back here with you all.

Lately, you’ve been asking me a lot how things are going, and as I’ve always liked to be straightforward with you, I wanted to tell you about the projects I’m involved in this May 2026.

After bringing an unforgettable spell in South Korea with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to a close — where we managed to win the league and the cup — life has brought me back to a region that is investing heavily in football: Saudi Arabia. I have accepted the challenge of managing Al-Khaleej for the final stretch of the season. It’s a short-term deal, covering just seven matches, but I accepted the chairman’s offer because I firmly believe in this team’s potential and in the opportunity to get an inside look at a league that’s constantly growing. From there, we’ll see what the future holds…

Thank you for your continued support. See you on the pitch, whether in Saudi Arabia or wherever football takes us.

All the best!
