Al-Shenaif calls for Pusic to leave Al-Ahli.

Al-Ahli’s 1–6 loss to Al-Shabab was followed by a 0–0 draw with Al-Sadd. Saudi presenter Khalid Al-Shenaif blamed coach Marino Pusic for the team’s decline. On the program Dorina Ghair, Al-Shenaif said goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and Galeno had recovered from injury before the Al-Shabab match, and questioned why Pusic left them out. He said both looked strong against Al-Sadd, making their absence in the earlier match harder to understand. Al-Shenaif also criticized Pusic’s reliance on Artem Bondarenko, saying a coach who relies on him is not a coach at all. He said he hoped Pusic would leave. Al-Shenaif’s social-media post was dated November 6, 2026.
