André Carrillo will be directed by Ramón Díaz at Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia

After announcing the departure of the Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim, after finishing the participation in the Club World Cup in fourth place, Al Hilal through its social networks confirmed the hiring of the Argentine coach Ramón Díaz, with a lot of experience in Middle Eastern football. .

The former Copa Libertadores champion with River Plate in the 1996 season returns to Al Hilal, a club he already directed from 2016 to 2018 and where he was also champion three times. At that time, André Carrillo was still a member of Watford in the Premier League.

Díaz arrives at the Saudi Arabian team after a bad time at Al Nasr, a team from the United Arab Emirates, where he arrived in 2021, but had accumulated 10 losses and just 11 wins in 25 games led, which led to his imminent departure.

As has been happening for several years now, the “Pelado” team will be made up of Emiliano Díaz, Daniel Ferreira as assistants, Damián Héctor, Diego Pereira and Nicolás Romanazzi as analysts and part of his technical command.

With a present with more presence among the substitutes, André Carrillo has an opportunity to show that he can contribute as a starter, as he was in previous seasons.

The Peruvian is playing his fourth consecutive season at Al Hilal. He has more than a hundred games and is one of the team’s benchmarks. In the standings, Al Hilal is in fourth place, 11 points behind the leader.
