Abha’s performance this season has been disappointing, accumulating only 14 points with a -30 goal difference, under the management of Czech Czeslaw Michniewicz and Youssef Manai. The team’s struggles led to scrutiny from former Abha star Ahmed Mahrez, who pointed out that their situation has worsened under the coaching of Mosimane, even though there was a mini-resurgence under him.
