• Pressure mounts on Abdullah Abu Zema as Al-Faisaly faces crucial phase

The relationship between Al-Faisaly’s management and coach Abdullah Abu Zema appears to be entering a critical stage, especially with the postponed match against Al-Hussein Irbid looming.

Pressure has intensified on Abu Zema following Al-Faisaly’s 0-1 defeat to Shabab Al-Ordon in the 20th round of the Jordanian Pro League, a result that complicates the team’s title ambitions.

Al-Faisaly’s Title Hopes Take a Hit

The club’s management had aimed to reclaim the league title, missing from their trophy cabinet over the past two seasons, after providing all necessary support to the team. However, recent setbacks have made the challenge in the closing stages even more difficult.

Al-Hussein Irbid Could Capitalize

Al-Faisaly is now level on 40 points with Al-Hussein Irbid, but the latter holds an advantage with two postponed matches in hand, giving them a chance to take the top spot if they win.

Abu Zema was appointed earlier this season as a replacement for Serbian coach Denis, a move that sparked debate among fans, given Abu Zema’s historical ties to rival club Al-Wehdat.

Statistics Reflect Struggles

Under Abu Zema, Al-Faisaly has played six league matches, winning three, losing two, and drawing one, collecting 9 points out of a possible 18.

The team lost 0-2 to Al-Wehdat, 0-1 to Shabab Al-Ordon, and drew 1-1 with Al-Sarhan, while securing wins against Al-Baqa’a, Al-Ahli, and another match against Al-Sarhan.

Possible Management Decisions Ahead

Indicators suggest the club’s management could make a decisive move regarding the coaching staff, especially ahead of the postponed clash with Al-Hussein Irbid, a match that could heavily influence Al-Faisaly’s title chances.

If the management decides to part ways with Abu Zema, attention may turn to club legends such as Adnan Awad, Moayad Abu Kashk, or Hassouna Al-Sheikh—names that fans have been calling for in recent weeks.
