Camera lenses captured Jose Mourinho upon his arrival in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Friday evening.
The Portuguese coach’s name was linked to working in the Saudi League in the coming period after his dismissal from coaching Roma in early 2024.
But in reality, Special One’s visit to Saudi Arabia is not for training, but for analysis.
Mourinho is in Saudi Arabia to participate in the analytical studio for the Al-Ahly and Zamalek match in the 2023 Egypt Cup final, which will be held at the “Awal Park” stadium.
There is a very high interest in the Cup Final, as the match will be broadcast with 44 cameras and will be directed by a Spanish-American crew, which is the crew that directed the World Cup Final between Argentina and France and consists of more than 130 people.
It is noteworthy that this is the first time that the Egypt Cup final will be played outside the Nile country, and the two poles will receive $100,000 each for participation, with the winner receiving $350,000 as a reward.
