Saudi League blocks dismissal of former Salzburg coach Letsch
After a disastrous start to the season, the German was actually supposed to be dismissed, but the Saudi League opposes it.
Thomas Letsch and his team Al-Shabab have had a disastrous start to the new Saudi Pro League season.
After an embarrassing cup exit against a second-division team, they have only four points from eight league games. The team is still winless so far.
Therefore, two months after his appointment, the club decided to dismiss the former Salzburg coach. However, the league is now thwarting the endeavor.
Lack of Liquidity
As reported by the newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat", Al-Shabab has run into financial difficulties, which is why the financial supervisory authority rejected the request for dismissal.
The club reportedly lacks the liquidity to carry out the dismissal.
Therefore, Letsch can continue his work indefinitely. However, should the Saudi club manage to raise the necessary funds, the termination could still be carried out.
