Rupia’s Bisha FC appoint new coach after torrid run

Bisha FC, home to Kenyan international Elvis Rupia have appointed Abdullah Darwish as their new head coach following a string of poor results.

The club that ply their trade in the Saudi Arabian second tier have posted torrid results as they have gone nine games without a win.

The results have left them second from bottom and in real danger of suffering the drop after winning only three games in the opening 17 rounds of matches.

Despite being Egyptian the coach has vast experience in Saudi Arabia having taken charge of Al Jeel and Al Watani and will be tasked with ensuring the survival of Bisha in the league.

Darwish will take over from Abdullazez Albishi who was at the helm of the club but recent poor results ultimately cost him his job. 

Rupia had also seen little game time under Albishi who failed to start him in the 2-1 defeat to Najran which proved to be his final straw.

The former AFC Leopards forward joined the club back in September after a stellar season in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) where he finished as the second top scorer with 17 goals. 

Darwish first game in charge will come against Al Draih on Monday 3 January.
