Some surprising news hit the Al Rayyan camp this week. Head coach Artur Jorge will step away from the team’s training sessions for a short time. The reason? He recently underwent a small operation.
The good news is that the surgery was a success. Al Rayyan announced the update on their social media channels. They shared that Jorge needs ten days to rest and recover. During this period, he will not be leading practices. The club sent their well wishes, hoping for a swift recovery for their coach.
Jorge, who is 53 years old, only just arrived in Qatar for the 2024/25 season. Before joining Al Rayyan, he had a very successful spell in Brazil. He led Botafogo, doing great work there before making the move. This brief absence means the team will train without its main man for a little while. Everyone is focused on getting him back to full strength soon.
