KUWAIT CITY, Aug 17: Al-Arabi Sports Club has hired a new first team coach – Mohammad Siyam from Egypt – to train goalkeepers after coach Shaker Al-Shatti rejected the position due to some personal circumstances.

Siyam, who served as the goalkeeper coach for junior football team for a period of five years, expressed gratitude to the Board of Directors of Al-Arabi Sports Club headed by Abdulaziz Ashour for trusting him.

He affirmed that he aims to develop the performance level of the goalkeepers through continuous training and implementation of latest training methodologies.
