The Arab press wrote that Edi Iordănescu will take over the Saudi club of Taawon, which is half confirmed by the former coach. But – surprise – the Arab group installed it today on the helm of the team on another Romanian, Cosmin Contra.

“Hi all. A lot of information has occurred in the last days about my professional situation, especially in the press abroad. There is a foundation, but I did not agree for a collaboration to a club. In the coming weeks, things will be clearer. I am eager to start training, but at this moment I don’t even know where I will do it. A good day ”Edi Iordănescu reacted immediately after the Arabs wrote that he had beaten Taewon.
In December 2024 he had left from Damac
However, the Saudi did not expect the confirmation of the coach who led Romania in the finals at Euro 2024 and elected Cosmin Contra as the new team coach. The publications of Al Weeam and Okaz write today it returns to the first Saudi league after about half a year, leaving Depamac in December, due to financial problems.
An indication of the installation against Taawon had appeared since February, when Laurențiu Roşu, the main collaborator of the technician, was co-opted in the technical staff of the Saudi team.
