This Wednesday, it was confirmed that Marcelo Gallardo accepted the million-dollar offer Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia and will be the new coach of the team that is in fifth place in the Saudi soccer league.
The ‘Muñeco’, who had announced that he was stepping aside at River in October 2022, will return to direct following rejecting several offers from European football and might become the highest paid coach in the world.
Figures of the caliber of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, Marcelo Grohe, among others. The Middle Eastern country is investing money to continue professionalizing its league since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was placed under the command of the trans-Andean strategist this year.
And Gallardo already had experience directing on that continent, since during this season, he was the coach designated to direct in the Riyadh Season Cup, where a combination of figures from the league measured forces with PSG in a great game that ended 5 to 4.
