Moroccan Coach Hicham Jadrane Leads Al Shamal’s Surprise Surge in Qatari Soccer

Since his arrival at the head of the modest club Al Shamal, the Moroccan Hicham Jadrane has produced good results.

"We beat Xavi Hernández’s team, Assad’s coach. We eliminated the best team in the Emir’s Cup, on penalties. It’s crazy, we’re all over the news on BeInSports and in the newspapers," said Hicham Jadrane.

"My Al Shamal team qualified for the round of 16 after 15 years. No one expected it," explains the Moroccan coach who is becoming very popular throughout the country thanks to the good results of his club.

For the coach, it is important to continue to write history. "We will play against Al Duhail, a team that has high-level players like Benatia..." Despite the quality of the opposing team, the Moroccan coach hopes that he will continue to chain the victories with his team that has been talked about for some time in the country.
