Argentina's Marcelo Gallardo will become the new head coach of Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad.
"I will accept Al Ittihad's offer also for personal reasons. They have motivated me with a big project in a new and exciting league," journalist Fabrizio Romano quoted the 47-year-old coach on his Twitter page.
Gallardo's last club was the Argentine River Plate, with whom he won 13 titles.
