four in the</p> <p>domestic league for the second year on the trot.</p> <p>The Brazilian tactician was told his services were no longer required following</p> <p>the 3-1 defeat at the hands of Al Khuraitiyat last Sunday.</p> <p>Tunisian coach Habib Al Sadiq has been put in charge of the side. His first game</p> <p>will be the highly anticipated tie against relegation threatened Al Wakrah. And</p> <p>with little at stake for Al Gharafa; Al Sadiq said he will use the match to jumpstart</p> <p>his team’s preparations for the Emir Cup.</p> <p>This is Al Sadiq’s second onus as caretaker for the yellow and blue outfit, his first</p> <p>was two years ago when he took over from Brazilian Paolo Silas amid similar circumstances.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="Related-Posts-Section" class="related-posts" > <div id="Related-Posts" class="container"> <div class="col-md-12"><h3> Related News</h3> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-4 related-post"> <a href="https://www.qfa.qa/qfa-gathers-experts-for-fifa-refereeing-seminar-in-doha/" title="QFA Gathers Experts for FIFA refereeing Seminar in Doha"> <div class="post-image" ><img src="//www.qfa.qa/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src="https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/b71aadbc-7178-4664-860d-8ae832c0244d-667x365.jpeg" class="lazy lazy-hidden attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/b71aadbc-7178-4664-860d-8ae832c0244d-667x365.jpeg 667w, https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/b71aadbc-7178-4664-860d-8ae832c0244d-960x525.jpeg 960w, https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/b71aadbc-7178-4664-860d-8ae832c0244d-217x120.jpeg 217w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /><span class="trans-bg"></span></div> <SPAN CLASS="related-post-meta"> <span class="Date">27.02.2024 </span> <span class="Time"> 1:58 </span> <span class="Category">in : News</span></span> <h4>QFA Gathers Experts for FIFA refereeing Seminar in Doha</h4></a> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-4 related-post"> <a href="https://www.qfa.qa/qatar-to-take-part-in-saudi-arabia-u23-international-tournament-2/" title="Qatar to take part in Saudi Arabia U23 international tournament"> <div class="post-image" ><img src="//www.qfa.qa/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src="https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20231116_095724-667x365.jpg" class="lazy lazy-hidden attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20231116_095724-667x365.jpg 667w, https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20231116_095724-960x525.jpg 960w, https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20231116_095724-217x120.jpg 217w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /><span class="trans-bg"></span></div> <SPAN CLASS="related-post-meta"> <span class="Date">17.11.2023 </span> <span class="Time"> 12:31 </span> <span class="Category">in : News</span></span> <h4>Qatar to take part in Saudi Arabia U23 international tournament</h4></a> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-4 related-post"> <a href="https://www.qfa.qa/afc-u17-shafie-hails-players-efforts-after-iran-match/" title="AFC U17: Shafie hails players’ efforts after Iran match"> <div class="post-image" ><img src="//www.qfa.qa/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src="https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IMG-20230616-WA0002-667x365.jpg" class="lazy lazy-hidden attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IMG-20230616-WA0002-667x365.jpg 667w, https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IMG-20230616-WA0002-960x525.jpg 960w, https://www.qfa.qa/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IMG-20230616-WA0002-217x120.jpg 217w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /><span class="trans-bg"></span></div> <SPAN CLASS="related-post-meta"> <span class="Date">20.06.2023 </span> <span class="Time"> 3:24 </span> <span class="Category">in : National Teams | U-17</span></span> <h4>AFC U17: Shafie hails players’ efforts after Iran match</h4></a> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div id="footer-bg" class="violet-bg"> <div ID="footer" class="container theme-footer transparent-100 violet-bg" > <div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 theme-Sponsor-Sidebar" > <h4 class="text-center white-font" ><span class="inline-line"></span>Sponsors<span class="inline-line"></span></h4> <div class="widget_text d-block"><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><div><br></div></div></div><h3>QIIB</h3><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><div class="widget-content img_above_text" style="position: relative;width: 260px;min-height: 80px;
