Sandi to Open the Books: An Honest Talk With Al-Ittihad
24 January 2026
Key Updates Ahead of February
Al Ittihad's board chairman Fahd Sandi intends to clarify several club matters in the coming period.
Al Ittihad is going through a difficult spell, with the team's results fluctuating since the start of the season, after the club parted ways with French coach Laurent Blanc following a setback against Al Nassr in the league Classic.
Under the new Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao, results have not improved significantly, particularly in the league, even as they reached the King's Cup semi-finals.
The club posted on X that the president would address several issues connected to the club in the first week of February, underscoring transparency and respect toward the fans.
The team has also fallen behind in the league after losses to Al Ettifaq and Al Qadsiyah, dropping from contention.
Supporters hope these disclosures will calm nerves and sharpen focus ahead of key fixtures.
With a club history of resilience, fans are waiting for clear, honest updates more than a glossy article.
Time will tell if the plan delivers results on the pitch.
Punchline 1: If honesty were a tactic, Sandi would be scoring in extra time.
Punchline 2: Open books, closed wallets—plot twist: the fans are the real referees.
