Back to football, Turki Bin Khalid, the supervisor of the National Saudi football team, has finally announced that he resigned from his position. However, he revealed no reasons for this decision. For me, it was so clear this is coming, as he already told the press during the Asian Cup that there's no intention to sack the Dutch coach Gerard Van Der Leem, but after the third match in the cup the president of the SAFF sacked the coach without even asking Bin Khalid for his opinion.
What I can remember clearly is that Turki Bin Khalid was the one who brought Van Der Leem and told the press then that the Dutch coach will stay with us until the 2006 World Cup in Germany. It seems like those guys above Bin Khalid do not understand the job of a football coach. All what they can think about is winning and then the praise of others, even if they had nothing to do with that victory.
I'm really looking forward to that day when someone who really understands football to be the president of our Football Association, but I can't see that day coming. My earlier post title was "Please Resign," but I definitely was talking to someone other than Turki Bin Khalid. In fact, he could be a good president for the Saudi Football Association someday.
