Al-Hilal S.FC Unveil New Manager

Al-Hilal S.FC are pleased to announce that Alessandro Ioli will be their new manager. Here are the first words of Mr Ioli:

"I'm honored to take on the role of Al-Hilal's technical guide because it's the best club in Saudi Arabia and the winner of six Asian championships. Our task will be very difficult but we want to bring the team to the level of European clubs for organisation and playing intensity. In this way, we bought Velazquez (Atletico Madrid) for 5.5m and we got the loans of Schick (AS Roma), Pjaca and Betancurt (Juventus FC). We're negotiating and discussing with many players and clubs but it's very difficult to convince the top players of the bounty and seriousness of our project. We also have a limited budget so we cannot make mistakes."
