Matthias Jaissles Change to Saudi Arabia was surprised by many observers in Germany. Now the 37-year-old won his first big title.
Al-Nahli has secured the football crown in Asia for the first time in club history. In the final of the Asian Champions League, the team of the German coach Matthias Jaissle prevailed 2-0 (2-0) against Kawasaki Frontale on Saturday evening in Dschidda.
In the first half, the club from Saudi Arabia set the course for victory. Galeno scored in the 35th minute, just seven minutes later Franck Kessié. Roberto Firmino prepared both goals-the former Bundesliga and Premier League professional shone as a double template.
For Jaissle it is the first title since its change in 2023 in the Saudi league. With the triumph in the “premier class” of the continent, the 36-year-old celebrated his greatest success with the club so far. Kawasaki Frontale had previously switched off in the semi-finals al-Nassr around Cristiano Ronaldo.
