Not everything is a bed of roses for new signings in the Saudi League. The Arab press has revealed, through the newspaper 'Asharq Al-Awsat', that Karim Benzema is at odds with his coach at Al Ittihad, Nuno Espirito Santo, who did not want him to join the team at first. This is where the bad relationship between the two professionals began and, so far, they have not found a solution.
The reason the former Tottenham Hotspur boss was wary of having the former Real Madrid captain in his ranks is that he feels he does not fit in with his style of play. However, the board managed to sign him, which caused a huge sensation in his country's football anyway. Moreover, the tactician included him in his line-ups as a matter of course, as his quality is undeniable.
