Sami Trabelsi has signed a new three-year deal with Al Sailiya.The Tunisian head coach joined the Peregrines in 2013 and has overseen a period of stability. He led Sailiya to a fourth-placed finish in his first season – a fine achievement considering the side ended the previous campaign in 12th and only avoided relegation due to the league’s expansion.
In 2014-15 Sailiya dropped to 11th but Trabelsi has overseen improvements this season to lead his men to seventh place with seven games to go.
Sailiya were keen to sign up Trabelsi and his backroom team on a long contract.
Abdullah Al Aidah, president of Al Sailiya, said: “As long as I’m the president, Trabelsi won’t leave.”
Trabelsi himself said he would have been happy to sign a five-year contract.
“Al Sailiya is my home and staying here isn’t linked to contracts or agreements. I don’t consider Abdullah Al Aidah as merely the club president – we have a strong connection and he is like a brother to me.”
