Details of Donis's contract with the Saudi Green team

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation has reached an agreement with Georgios Donis to take charge of the national team, marking the start of a new technical cycle after parting ways with Hervé Renard. Donis has signed a one‑year contract and will immediately begin preparations for a packed schedule of international competitions. The Greek coach faces a demanding challenge, with Saudi Arabia set to compete in three major events, including the 2026 World Cup, the Gulf Cup and the Asian Cup.

Federation officials believe Donis has the experience and leadership needed to stabilise the squad and build a stronger long‑term project. His appointment reflects a desire to reset the team’s direction and restore competitive balance ahead of crucial fixtures. Supporters are eager to see how quickly he can impose his ideas, especially given the limited time before key tournaments, a factor that adds weight to the task awaiting the new manager.
