Empowering the national coach

 In a previous article, I referred to the importance of the presence of a national coach, and considered the lack of Saudi coaches on the field to be one of the problems that hinder the development of football.

The recent step taken by the Saudi Football Association, represented by the Technical Committee, to enable national coaches to work in the First Division Football League, and the federation guarantees their salaries, is an important step in the development ladder, because there is no development for players without developing the coach, which is one of the most important aspects of this process. .

In my study published in 2018 on “The National Football Coach in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Obstacles, Problems and Proposed Solutions,” the study reached many results and recommendations, the most important of which were: Adopting a list of the salaries of the national coach according to his qualifications, and forcing clubs to have a national coach Within the technical staff as an assistant in the professional league, and as a coach in the first, second and third division.

I will review here some personal obstacles and problems that trainers see as a very big problem in front of them according to the above study, including:

They see that personal relationships play a major role in the coach's getting an opportunity in the field of training as a very big problem for national coaches. And they feel frustrated because of the lack of confidence in them on the part of the decision-makers in clubs and national teams, as well as their agreement that the national coach does not market himself as required, which is one of the most important and most important obstacles and personal problems.

As for the administrative obstacles and problems related to clubs, which represent a very big problem for national coaches, they include: Going to seek the help of the foreign coach instead of the national coach, and the lack of specialization of administrators working in clubs in the sports administration or public administration. And that the national coach is not given the opportunity to work in addition to the weak support provided to the coach by the club.

As for the administrative obstacles and problems related to the Football Association, which the national coaches see as a big problem for them, it came as follows: The Football Association does not support the work of the national coach as a professional coach, and there is no organization or association that deals with the affairs of the national coach, and the Football Association Clubs are not incentivized to hire a national coach.

As for the financial obstacles and problems that the local trainers see as a problem for them, it was as follows: There is no financial support for the coach from the private sector, and there is no health insurance for the coach and his family, and finally there are no financial incentives and allowances.

Football Respect for South Africa

I am not discussing the choice of Pesto Musimani, the extent of his efficiency and his entitlement to become the new technical director of Al-Ahly club. And anyone who knows football and respects it will not be able, no matter how hard he strives, to confirm the success or failure of Musimani .. And according to the rules of football, there are no guarantees for the success of any coach, whatever his potential, with any club, regardless of the strength of its players..A coach may succeed despite the reasons and justifications for failure, or fail. Despite the factors and causes of success .. I will only pause in front of a phrase said here and there related to the nationality of Musimani, South Africa, and stresses that hiring a coach from South Africa is an insult and perhaps an insult to Egyptian football. The owners of that phrase were not talking about Musimani specifically or Al-Ahly, but they meant any coach who came to Egypt from South Africa. The phrase clearly indicated at tim

Local rule in Arab football

 - There is no football league in the world whose matches are not led by local referees except the Saudi League .. This is a fact and reality, but they are justified. - The “weakness” of the Saudi referees ’performance in“ local ”competitions angered“ many ”clubs. The“ foreign ”referees' crews were included in the“ local ”league from one and two crews to 4 teams, until we reached that“ all ”the referees of the league are from Aliens .. - The “weakness” of the Saudi referee’s performance was not a result of poor qualification or a lack of familiarity with the law of the game, as much as it was “trembling” from the referee “himself” and the evidence is that the Saudi referee leads “with great success” “foreign” matches, then he is not successful in managing matches "Local" so much that you do not believe that this "local" government is the same one who created "externally" - The “Saudi” referee received a lot of qualification through “domestic and foreig
