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.

Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino was able to savour a sweet victory over Tottenham on his first return to the club since his sacking in 2019. But the Argentine’s revenge mission was overshadowed by an incredible litany of controversial incidents including red cards for Tottenham duo Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie. Dejan Kulusevski had given Tottenham an early lead, but Romero was dismissed for a foul that led to Cole Palmer’s equalizer from the penalty spot before half-time. Referee Michael Oliver and the over-worked VAR officials sent off Udogie soon after the break for his second booking. Both teams had goals disallowed by VAR, while Tottenham’s misfortune also included losing England playmaker James Maddison and Dutch defender Micky van de Ven to first-half injuries. Chelsea finally made the most of their numerical advantage when Senegal striker Jackson netted three times in the closing stages to hand Tottenham their first defeat in 11 league games. Ange Postecoglou’s team remain in second place, one point behind leaders Manchester City, while Chelsea moved up to 10th place after their first win in three league games. “There will be a forensic study of every decision out there, I think that is the way the game is going and I don’t like it,” Postecoglou said. “If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I’d rather see us playing football.” Pochettino was given a largely warm reception by Tottenham fans in recognition of a five-year reign that included taking them to their maiden
