Rui Faria has resigned as coach of Al-Duhail.

The former Manchester United and Chelsea assistant manager's departure was confirmed by the Qatari club last night.

Faria chose to step down for personal reasons and the club has accepted the request.

The Portuguese was appointed Al-Duhail head coach in January 2019 - his first manager's job after spending over a decade as part of Jose Mourinho's staff.

Al-Duhail has former Juventus players Medhi Benatia and Mario Mandzukic on their books.
