• The Portuguese coach (Sousa) chose the national coach, Ahmed Issa, to be his assistant in the Qatari club Qatar, which plays in the professional league; It emphasizes the competence that the national coach has whenever he works with a foreigner sincerely, and this is exactly what happened with coach Khaled Taj. When Machala chose him as his assistant in Al-Ahly of Qatar, who is currently the club’s temporary coach, succeeding the sacked coach.
• This confidence that the Bahraini coach enjoys in neighboring countries; It would not have happened without the ambition he lives, and his desire to give to immortalize his name and make it a landmark, and because they (fight) first in the local arena.
They were armed with the knowledge of training, and did not have any fear when they were requested from foreign clubs. Success requires willpower, and the weapon of dismissal does not frighten him as long as he chooses the path of professionalism.
• Taj and Issa followed the same path taken by other coaches, led by Captain Salman Sharida, and others followed suit. Of course, in other games, Bahraini coaches followed the same approach. Rather, they preceded football coaches in this, led by Nabil Taha, Al-Anzour (handball), Salman Ramadan (basketball), and others that this space does not have enough time to mention.
• I believe that those who chose to train professionally abroad had the courage; Without fear of losing a local job, consider their reading
Good for the consequences of professionalism, which is at its worst (disintegration) and which requires willpower and lack of fear of the future; Because those who remain on this path are not afraid of failure, and I believe that there are many incidents in this regard. Coaches move from club to club and from country to country!
• In the case of Issa and Taj, I believe that they were sincere during their work as assistants to the foreigner. The latter does not have much confidence in the national for fear of working with the local coach, thinking that he will try to hit him below the belt, which is a belief that only comes from those who do not trust themselves, but in Bahraini affairs, he works to benefit as much as possible from the knowledge of the foreigner!
• In any case, the element of success for any coach is confidence in whoever is above him in the coaching position and not making him feel that he is working to overthrow him or belittle his competence or status, especially since the popular proverb says (You eat dates and someone else prepares the food); Therefore, even in local affairs, it is assumed that neither party (the coach and his assistant) feels that either of them is working against the other in order for success to be possible.
