Allegri’s Move to Middle East Postponed as Al Ahli Stays with Jaissle

Al Ahli has made a significant decision to extend the contract of Matthias Jaissle as their head coach, dismissing rumors that suggested a potential move for Massimiliano Allegri to the club. The move comes after discussions between the club's board and Jaissle, where the board expressed full confidence in his leadership despite a recent setback in the league.

Jaissle's position as coach was recently under scrutiny following Al Ahli’s disappointing loss to Al Khaloud in the league. However, after a meeting held on Saturday, the club reaffirmed their support for Jaissle. Sources from Al Riyadh have confirmed that the board acknowledged Jaissle’s positive impact on the team and made it clear that they trust his direction for the club’s future. Jaissle left the meeting with increased morale, assured of his stability in the role.

Following the board's meeting, Jaissle’s training session was described as highly positive, with players showing strong support for their manager. The club's statement emphasized that Jaissle’s performance remains key to their goals, and the board rejected rumors of his departure, calling for the fans to rely on official club communications for updates.

The club also thanked the technical committee, led by Ron Gourlay, for their work in player acquisitions and contract renewals during the transfer window. Al Ahli is focusing on achieving its targets and developing under Jaissle’s guidance, looking forward to a positive second half of the season.

While the rumors of Allegri’s potential move have now been postponed, the stability brought by Jaissle’s continuation at Al Ahli is expected to guide the team toward its future objectives, including strengthening their position in the Middle Eastern football scene.
