Tunisian Othman Al-Najjar, coach of Dibba Al-Hisn

Dibba Al-Hisn Club announced the signing of Tunisian coach Othman Al-Najjar to lead the team next season in the first division, to succeed the coach, Abdul Ghani Al-Muhairi, who moved to coach Masfout.

Al-Najjar's contract, next from the technical staff of Esperance, extends until the end of next season.

The supervisor of the Dibba Al-Hisn team, Muhammad Sorour, told "Emirates Today" that the club completed its contract with coach Al-Najjar early, but that this was not announced out of respect for the coach's commitment to his former club, Esperance, during his participation in the African Champions League, and his reaching the semi-finals of the tournament.

For his part, the coach announced through the media that he will arrive in the UAE next Friday to discuss the required arrangements in preparation for the inauguration of the training.

Othman Al-Najjar previously worked with the expert coach Faouzi Benzarti in Club Africain, and also worked in the Tunisian national team, which won the African title in 2011, before joining Esperance Sportive.
