In the World Club's Cup, Saudi Arabia's "Al Hilal" club achieved results that were not expected. It was probably expected that "Al Hilal" could lose to the European champions "Chelsea" in the semi-finals. However, in the third-place match, for the bronze medals, the Saudi Arabian club was crushed 0:4 by Egypt's "Al Ahly" team, mainly due to two early red cards in the match. As a result, "Al Hilal" parted ways with head coach Leonardo Jardim by mutual agreement, who led the team for a year and during that time won the Asian Champions League title. Earlier in his coaching career, the 47-year-old strategist had a very successful period with the "AS Monaco" team, with which he won the "Ligue 1" title and reached the Champions League semi-finals. After this achievement, L. Jardim was also linked with strong "Premier League" clubs, but ultimately chose a lucrative offer from the Saudi Arabian club. Leonardo Jardim has officially been terminated by Al Hilal.
