Al Gharafa SC President Sheikh Jassim bin Thamer Al Thani presenting a memento to former coach Jean Fernandez.
DOHA: Al Gharafa Sports Club honoured their former coach Jean Fernandez, who took over The Cheetahs at the start of the QNB Stars League (QSL) season and was replaced by Turk Bulent Uygun recently.
Club President Sheikh Jassim bin Thamer Al Thani presented a memento to the Frenchman in recognition of his efforts with the team. The most notable among them was the QSL Cup triumph last month when they defeated Al Rayyan in the final to end a long title drought.
Sheikh Jassim thanked Fernandez for his contributions to the club, specially the grooming of youngsters, and wished him all success in his future endeavours.
Fernandez reciprocated by saying, “It was a pleasure working at Al Gharafa. I’ll certainly continue my relationship with the club and will follow them whether I’m in Qatar or not.”
