RIYADH: Saudi Arabian coach Abdulhakeem Al-Tuwaijri has signed a contract to coach the first team of Bosnia’s Zeljeznicar Club by the Future Falcons Program, which is affiliated with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. This step is part of FFP’s goals to develop national coaches and administrators, opening doors for them to work in Europe, as well as training and developing young players for national teams, said a media statement on Tuesday. This marks Al-Tuwaijri’s first experience as a head coach for a first-team in Europe. The 44-year-old coach began his journey in Europe with the Saudi FFP as an assistant coach, later becoming the coach for the team. He then moved to Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic as an assistant coach for the reserve team and eventually became an assistant coach for the first team. His journey led him to the Bosnian club as the head coach for the first team this season, reflecting his progress in Europe. Having won the Bosnian league championship eight times, Zeljeznicar is considered one of the major clubs in Bosnia and they have also won the country’s cup six times and the Bosnian Super Cup three times. They also reached the semifinals of the European Cup in the 1984/1985 season.
