## Review

[edit]

### Background

[edit]

Al Sadd SC began training in the external camp on the first of July in the Seefeld in Tirol region in Austria, which will continue until the fifteenth of the same month, during which the team will play 3 friendly matches.[4] The team's technical staff, led by Spaniard Juan Manuel Lillo, tried to give the largest number of players the opportunity to measure their response to the work they have undergone since starting their preparations in Doha before traveling to Austria in preparation for the new season.[4] It is worth noting that Al Sadd SC has succeeded in strengthening its ranks with a number of foreign professional players led by The Brazilian duo Paulo Otávio coming from VfL Wolfsburg and Giovanni Henrique coming from Palmeiras for a fee reported to be around €9 million.[5][6] It also signed Colombian midfielder Mateus Uribe from Porto and Iranian defender Amin Hazbavi player of Iranian Foolad.[7][8] Al Sadd SC had renewed the contract of Brazilian Guilherme Torres for the next two seasons, until 2025 and kept Baghdad Bounedjah in the team during the current season.[9]

On July 13, 2023, Al Sadd have announced the appointment of Portuguese Bruno Pinheiro as the coach of their first team succeeding Spaniard ‘Juanma’, who desired to be relieved due to urgent personal circumstances and which was approved by the club management.[1] On July 24, 2023, Al Sadd signed Ecuadorian international Gonzalo Plata for five seasons coming from Valladolid.[10] On the same day Moroccan defender Romain Saïss joined the club for two seasons in a deal amounting to 2.5 million euros, coming from Beşiktaş.[11] However, due to exceeding the number of foreign players allowed in the Qatar Stars League, the club loaned its player to Al-Shabab for one season.[12]
