CNA – Al-Hilal coach Ramon Diaz (AP, pic below) said goodbye to his players on Sunday before travelling to Argentina for personal reasons ahead of this week’s derby against Al-Ittihad, amid speculation he had already overseen his last match at the Saudi Pro League club.
With local media reporting that former Brazil coach Tite was being lined up to take over, Al-Hilal said on Sunday that Diaz’s son Emiliano would guide the team until the end of the season, starting with clash against the league leaders.
Diaz’s contract is to expire at the end of the season.
The Arriyadiyah daily sports newspaper said Al-Hilal would not renew Diaz’s contract and were talking to Tite, who led Brazil at the last two World Cups, about replacing him.
