Al-Ittihad's decision shocks fans

Former Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo has been sacked by Al-Ittihad, despite leading the team to victory in the Saudi title last season. The decision has left fans shocked and wondering what went wrong.

Sixth place in the Saudi Pro League

Currently sitting in sixth place in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Ittihad has struggled to find their form this season. Despite having star players like Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante on their roster, the team has been unable to secure consistent wins.

Disappointing defeat in the Asian Champions League

Al-Ittihad suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Iraqi side Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in the Asian Champions League. The loss adds to their recent string of poor performances and raises further questions about the team's ability to compete at a high level.

Falling behind in the Saudi title race

Al-Ittihad's Saudi title defense has been far from successful. Currently, they trail league leaders Al-Hilal by a whopping 11 points after just 12 games. It's a concerning gap that will be difficult to close as the season progresses.
