Umm Salal head coach Mahmoud Jaber has been awarded the QSL coach of the month award for February/March. The Egyptian tactician picked up the award on Thursday evening at Umm Salal’s training ground.

The Orange fortress enjoyed a undefeated run during the two months, picking up a total of nine points from five games in the league. Umm Salal enjoyed two wins in the run including a fine performance to end Lekhwiya’s undefeated streak in the league with a 3-1 victory. Whilst Umm Salal also picked up three draws, which included a notable 0-0 draw with title chasing Al Sadd to round off the month of March.

Jaber’s side have created on average 10 chances per game and found the back of the net on five occasions in five QSL games. Central to Umm Salal’s success has been their miserly defense which has conceded only two times in five occasions.

The Orange Fortress will be looking to continue their unbeaten streak when they take on Al Gharafa later on today. Umm Salal are currently in sixth place in the QSL standings, having picked up thirty points from twenty three QSL games so far this season.
