Portuguese coach Jose Gomes has raised questions about his future with Al-Fateh after confirming that no agreement has yet been reached regarding the renewal of his contract, which expires at the end of the current season.
Gomes’ comments come amid growing speculation surrounding his future following the positive results the team has achieved since he took charge in December 2024 after leaving Egyptian side Zamalek.
The Portuguese manager stated that discussions with the club’s management are still ongoing but have not yet produced a final agreement, adding that next season is expected to be even more challenging due to the increasing competition and major spending across the Saudi league.
According to Gomes, his current focus remains fully on finishing the season strongly while continuing to improve the team’s performances and maintain positive momentum.
He also highlighted the importance of Al-Fateh’s final match of the season against Al-Najma, describing it as an important opportunity to end the campaign on a high note in front of the club’s supporters.
Gomes stressed that final matches always carry special significance and said the players understand the importance of delivering a strong performance that reflects the team’s efforts throughout the season.
Al-Fateh supporters are now waiting for clarity regarding the coach’s future, with expectations growing that the coming weeks could bring either a contract renewal announcement or confirmation of his departure.
Since arriving at the club, Jose Gomes has made a noticeable impact by improving results and restoring tactical balance within the squad during a relatively short period.
