The crest is enduring a tough season, and Al-Ittihad has turned to its own veterans for help.

The club stated in a formal release that Noor and Al-Montashri will act as advisors to the president on football matters, a move designed to strengthen the operation and foster better integration across departments as the team pursues its ambitions.

They noted that the appointment is part of ongoing development and stability efforts, drawing on the deep well of experience inside the club to align with fans' expectations and pursue domestic and continental success.
The season has been challenging for Al-Ittihad: they exited the King’s Cup earlier than hoped and sit sixth in the Roshn Saudi League after 26 rounds, 25 points behind the leaders. The club emphasizes that this change signals a renewed commitment to progress and resilience.
Finally, while the media spins stories, Noor and Al-Montashri bring decades of insider knowledge to the table, which might just be the spark the team needs as it navigates a rough patch.
Punchline 1: If football strategy were ice cream, Noor and Al-Montashri just handed the team a double scoop of veteran wisdom.
