Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography
Nasser Hamad Al-Johar (Template:Langx; born 6 January 1946) is a Saudi Arabian former football coach and former player.[1]
Club career
Al-Johar played for Al Nassr FC.[2]
Managerial career
Al-Johar coached the Saudi Arabia national team for both the 2000 AFC Asian Cup (replacing Milan Máčala) and 2002 FIFA World Cup (after replacing Slobodan Santrač),[2] though he was fired for failing to take the team to a Cup win that year.[3]
When coach Hélio dos Anjos was fired in June 2008, Al-Johar was hired to replace him for the rest of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification.[4] Al-Johar resigned from coaching The Green Falcons in February 2009 after the team lost to North Korea in the AFC fourth round of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification;[5] he was replaced with José Peseiro.[6] The Saudi Arabia Football Federation announced the "reclusive" Al-Johar would continue to support the team as a "technical advisor".[4]
After losing to the Syria national team on 9 January 2011, it was announced that Al-Johar would replace Peseiro for the remainder of the 2011 AFC Asian Cup;[7] after two further losses (1–0 against Jordan and 5–0 against Japan), the perennial fix-it man for Saudi Arabia was again sacked, less than two weeks after taking the helm.[8]
