Jamal Al Hosani stated that the decision to dismiss Dutchman Marvik from coaching the national team in December 2019, and then contract him again a year after his dismissal, confirms that dealing with the coach's selection file for "Al-Abyad" has many mistakes.
He explained: “It is not logical that the basis for choosing a coach is to look at his nationality, without paying attention to the needs of the national team in the first place, as every time a new coach is contracted, according to the names available in the transfer market, without considering the needs of the current stage, what "It makes us deal with the coach's file, as if someone needs to buy a boat when in reality he is going to buy a car."

To second place in the 2010 World Cup, and his leadership of the Saudi team to qualify for the World Cup 2018, but I think that the lack of transparency from the teams committee in dealing with the national team file is the main problem.
He said: “We wish the national teams committee to speak with full transparency about the reasons for the departure of Colombian Pinto, while at the same time we would like to know if the previous problems that occurred while Marvik were solved, most notably that he follows the players from outside the country and does not attend the matches of the Arab Gulf League. ».
For his part, former Al-Jazeera player and sports analyst Rakan Jassem Al-Ajami said: "The main mistake was in the decision to dismiss Marvik last year," noting that "this period of time wasted an irreplaceable opportunity to build a new team for the national team."
He explained: “The team did not benefit from contracting with both Jovanovic and Pinto, while I see that Marvik was doing well, and although the team suffered two losses in the qualifiers for the World Cup and the Asian Cup, but there was a clear plan from the coach, while due to pressure from Street Sports The Football Association decided to dismiss him, and a year of the national team’s life was wasted without benefit in an important period before the decisive stage of the qualifiers.
