And he's basically coaching Saudi for 100 million euros to win the Asian Cup, which they haven't won since 1996 and they're hosting in 2027. They hadn't had trouble qualifying for World Cups and with the expanded version in 2026 that should be almost a guarantee with any coach. And we don't expect them to make noise in World Cups either so that's status quo. I mean, maybe the goal it to get out of the group stage?

It would have made more sense if he got paid to coach a team like Oman, who had never made a World Cup and it would be a big achievement in 2026.
