The experienced Portuguese coach has agreed to a contract that will keep him with the Jeddah-based club until June 2027.

Conceição brings a strong winning pedigree, having led Porto to multiple domestic titles, and he will now look to replicate that success in Saudi Arabia with a squad that includes stars like Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté.

Coaching Staff Confirmed

Conceição is bringing a full complement of staff to join him in his new venture. The coaching team includes:

  • João Costa
  • Siramana Dembélé
  • Fábio Moura
  • Diamantino Figueiredo
  • Vedran Runje (Likely Goalkeeping Coach)
  • Eduardo Oliveira (Performance Analyst)

This move marks a significant appointment for Al-Ittihad as they seek to compete for the Saudi Pro League title and challenge in the AFC Champions League.
