One of the world's most famous players, Karim Benzema, feels that he has the right and leverage to influence the decisions of the "Al-Ittihad" team.

As reported by "Relevo", the former Real Madrid striker demanded that the Arabs dismiss the head coach of the Jeddah club, Nuno Espirito Santo.

The footballer, who disagrees with the Portuguese, believes that only radical changes in the manager's position could solve the situation.

It is said that the Arabs listened to K. Benzema and have started actively looking for a smart French coach who could better utilize another foreign player, N'Golo Kante.

The team defending the title of Saudi Arabian champions is currently in a disappointing position in the local championship.
