Al-Faisaly’s stronghold is on edge following the latest stumble in the Pro League, as a well-informed source told Roya that the club is moving quickly to implement a major overhaul of the first football team’s technical staff.

According to the source, the club’s management has entered serious and direct negotiations with national head coach Abdullah Abu Zema to take charge for the remainder of the 2025/2026 season.

These moves come after widespread dissatisfaction within Al-Faisaly circles following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Shabab Al-Ordon on Monday in the 13th round of the league.

The setback was more than just dropping two valuable points; it marked the exhaustion of Bosnian coach Denis Kuretic’s chances after he faced sharp criticism recently for declining performance and the team’s inability to win direct confrontations, threatening the “Blue Eagles’” ambitions to stay atop the standings and remain competitive for the title.

Abu Zema… The Anticipated National Savior

The source told Roya that negotiations with Captain Abdullah Abu Zema have made significant progress, with management aiming to finalize an agreement for him to officially take over in the coming hours.

Abu Zema is seen as a “rescue” option due to his deep experience in Jordanian football, his ability to handle intense fan pressure, and his precise knowledge of all Pro League competitors.

Challenges Ahead

If the deal is completed, Abu Zema’s first task will be to restore player confidence and reorganize defensive and offensive strategies before it’s too late, as the upcoming rounds cannot tolerate further slip-ups—especially with direct rivals like Al-Wehdat and Al-Hussein Irbid raising their level.

Fans hope that Abu Zema can deliver a “positive shock” that restores the team’s prestige and ensures stable results amid a congested schedule of decisive matches.

The official announcement of the new coach and his staff is expected in the coming hours, with great anticipation over the impact of this corrective move on the course of Jordan’s oldest and most prestigious club.
