Al-Shorta's administrative body has mutually ended its association with the first team’s coaching staff led by Tunisian coach Sami Al-Trabelsi, following an agreement between the two parties to terminate the coaching relationship amicably.


The decision comes after a period of technical evaluation of the team's performance in local and continental competitions, where the management felt that the upcoming phase requires a new direction in terms of technical leadership.


The Al-Shorta administrative body expresses its sincere gratitude to coach Sami Al-Trabelsi and the accompanying technical staff for their dedicated efforts during their time leading the team, wishing them continued success in their future endeavors.


The administrative body expresses its great pride in what Al-Trabelsi has contributed during his time with Al-Qithara Al-Khadra, appreciating his high cooperation and professional commitment throughout his work with the team. It confirms that the termination of the association came with mutual respect and full understanding between the two parties.


Tunisian coach Sami Al-Trabelsi has led Al-Shorta during a crucial and busy period of commitments, achieving a total of 11 official matches in two different competitions.


In the Iraqi Premier League, Al-Trabelsi has led the team in 9 matches, achieving 4 wins and 4 draws, with only one loss against Al-Karma. This record has allowed the team to maintain its position among the top teams despite fluctuating performances in some rounds.


In the AFC Champions League, he made a significant impact, leading the team to two victories, the first being a 1-0 win against Al-Seeb, and the second a thrilling and difficult 3-2 win away against East Bengal in a match that saw a turnaround and a numerical disadvantage. This victory placed Al-Shorta at the top of Group A with 6 points.


Following these results, Al-Shorta amicably closes the chapter on Al-Trabelsi, awaiting the announcement of the new coaching staff that will lead the team in the upcoming phase of the league and the AFC Champions League.
