Khalil Al-Zayani is part of Al-Zayani family residing in Dammam city in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. ==Career== Al-Zayani led the Saudi Arabia national football team to victory over China in the final of the Asian Cup in 1984. He also helped the squad qualify for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California of the same year. Al-Zayani played for Al-Ittifaq from 1962–1971, and now works for the Al-Kass channel as a sports analyst. Al-Zayani is recognised as the father of coaching in Saudi Arabia after emerging as the first great tactician in the Kingdom. He was one of the “2010 AFC Coach of the Year” award winners in the AFC ceremony held in Kuala Lumpur on November 23, 2010.〔http://www.the-afc.com/en/component/content/article/31408-afc-asian-coaches-night-on-nov-23〕 He took Saudi Arabia to new heights in the continent as he led the country to victory in the 1984 AFC Asian Cup in Singapore. Zayani’s rise as a coach was a natural progression given the success he had as a player. He played for Al-Ittifaq club from 1962 to 1972, captaining the side in 1965 when they won the Crown Prince Cup. He was also part of the team who won the 1968 King Cup. His coaching career started soon after he retired as a player, as an assistant for the Al-Ittifaq first team. In 1976, he was promoted to head coach. That particular tenure lasted two years but he had several stints with the club, winning the Saudi League in 1982 and 1987 and the Gulf Club competition in 1983 and 1988, the same year they won the Arab Champions League. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khalil Ibrahim Al-Zayani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
