Former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been unveiled as the new coach of Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad.
The 48-year-old Portuguese’s appointment was confirmed in a statement on the club’s official Twitter account on Monday evening. It said: “Nuno Santo is here. Welcome Coach.”
In a brief video message to the club’s fans on the same platform, Nuno said: “It’s an honour for me to join the greatest club in Saudi Arabia, Ittihad. See you soon.” Jeddah-based Al-Ittihad finished second in the Saudi Pro League after a 0-0 home draw with Al-Batin on the final day of the campaign allowed rivals Al-Hilal to secure the title for a third successive season with a 2-1 win over Al-Faisaly.
