Leonardo Jardim to start his mission with Al Hilal

Leonardo Jardim has been appointed as Al Hilal head coach on a one-year deal set to begin at the start of next season.

Jardim arrived in Riyadh, where Al Hilal fans have received ahead of taking the charge of their team. 

The Portuguese coach is set to start his mission immediately with the team, as he will not be quarantined after being vaccinated in Portugal.

The Saudi Arabian authorities have set several preventive measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, as any passengers who enter the country, must be quarantined upon their arrival until they test negative for the coronavirus.
