Santo’s coaching career has seen him coach strong clubs, having led Wolverhampton and Tottenham Hotspur in England, while leading Al-Ittihad Saudi Arabia, after Anmar Al-Haili decided to return the Saudi team to the podiums, after years of being away from winning titles.
The fans of Al-Ittihad had launched a fierce attack on Nuno Santo, after the defeat in the Saudi League derby against Al-Hilal by four goals to three, in a match in which he was leading by a score of 3/1.
While the defeat of Al-Ahly was a painful and strong blow to the Brigadier General, as he lost three more points in the competition for the league title this season.
