Press sources said Saudi club Al-Ittihad have reached an agreement with Romanian coach Cosmin Contra to continue leading the last two rounds of the Mohammed bin Salman Professional Cup against Al-Ettifaq and Al-Batin.

And the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah indicated that private sources told it that both sides agreed to decide whether or not to extend the contract after the end of the current season, knowing that Contra’s contract with Al-Ittihad officially expired three days ago. .

Tunisian lawyer Anis Bin Mim confirmed to the newspaper that “coaching contracts are different from player contracts, for example, if a club wants to extend a coach’s contract, it can do so in agreement with him without signing a new contract.”

He added: “But most foreign coaches want to guarantee their eligibility and that’s fine by negotiating with them for a month or two months or even a day extension. As far as the player is concerned, he has to sign an extension contract because he is a professional, and for not getting into a protest problem, than any other club.
