Al-Khaleej Secures Portuguese Coach Jose Gomez on Two-Year Deal

Saudi Arabia's Al-Khaleej Club has finalized an agreement with Portuguese coach Jose Gomez, who will assume control of the club's first team beginning in the upcoming season.

The announcement came through the club's official social media channels on the X platform, confirming that Gomez has committed to a two-year contract with the organization.

Gomez arrives with recent experience in the Saudi League, having most recently managed Al-Fateh. During his tenure there, he guided the team to maintain their league status in the 2024-25 season, though Al-Fateh finished the most recent campaign in eleventh place with 37 points.

The appointment comes after earlier speculation that Al-Ahly Club had expressed interest in bringing Gomez into their organization, but Al-Khaleej ultimately secured his signature.

Al-Khaleej themselves concluded the previous season in 12th position on the Saudi League standings, accumulating 37 points over the course of the campaign. The club is seeking to improve on that performance under Gomez's direction.

The Portuguese coach is anticipated to commence preparatory work for the new season in the coming weeks, working closely with the club's administrative and technical departments to prepare for the campaign ahead.
