Al Sadd’s handball team has signed with Slovenian coach Branco Tamse to take charge of the team during the 2020-21 season.
The new coach is currently working with the first team in preparation for participating in the upcoming Qatar Cup and the Emir Cup matches, after the suspension of the league championship, which began on September 10.
The Slovenian coach led several handball clubs in his home country, before taking over at the Croatian club Zagreb, where he won the League and Cup titles.
Meanwhile, Al-Sadd has signed three foreign players – Miguel Radjkovic from Serbia, Slovenian international Greg Okolsen, and Egypt’s Hussein Abdullah – to strengthen the team in the new season.
The coach and the three players were subjected to COVID-19 protocol and quarantine after their arrival to ensure their safety before joining the team for training.
Al-Sadd is now training in preparation for the match against Al Rayyan in the 2019-20 Qatar Cup, which will be held on Friday, 25 September.
Coach Tamse expressed his happiness with the Al-Sadd management, pointing out that the club has many young players, and added that its next objective will be to prepare a good team that can compete in the upcoming tournaments.
The technical staff of Al-Sadd handball team is as follows: Branko Tamse (head coach), Haitham Bassiouni (general trainer), Hamada al-Naqib (goalkeeper coach), Goran and Mohamed Awad (medical staff), Ahmed Bakhdar (team manager), and Ghanem Mubarak Al-Ali (head of the club’s handball department).
