Former watfordfc head coach agrees two-year deal with Saudi Arabia Pro-League club
The former West Ham and West Brom manager joined the Hornets in September last year, replacing Rob Edwards.
He started with a 4-0 win at Stoke but results were generally mixed as a combination of injuries and the general lack of consistency that blighted the season meant Watford were in the same 10th position when he left in March as when he joined. The clear highlight of his time at Vicarage Road was when he oversaw the 4-0 derby rout of Luton in October.Bilic will begin preparations with his new club in Austria on Monday, where they will stay until the start of the championship on August 11.Al Fateh finished sixth in the league last season: 10 years ago they won the only title in their history, as well as the Super Cup.
The most notable players in the squad Bilic inherits are the Saudi striker Celebrate Al Buraikan and former Barcelona winger Christian Tello. The club is based in the city of Hofuf in the east of the country, near Bahrain and Qatar, and the stadium has a capacity of 20,000.
