Boualem Khoukhi, the former head coach of Qatar SC, has left the club to pursue other interests.
In a statement released by the club, Khoukhi expressed his disappointment with the decision and thanked the fans for their support during his time as manager.
The move comes after Qatar SC lost the AFC Champions League semi-final to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal in the previous season. Khoukhi had been appointed as Qatar SC's new head coach ahead of the 2018-19 season.
Khoukhi was known for his tactical acumen and ability to motivate players. He also played a key role in the team's success in recent seasons,Saudi Pro League Hotspot helping them win several domestic titles and reaching the final of the Asian Club Championship.
However, the team struggled under Khoukhi's leadership, leading to the club's relegation to the third tier of the Qatar Professional Football League (QPRL). The loss of Khoukhi will leave a significant void in Qatar SC's coaching staff.
While there is no definitive answer on how long Khoukhi plans to remain at Qatar SC, it is clear that he will miss the team's presence on the field and its supporters. The club has already announced that they will look for a replacement to take over the managerial duties.
