DOHA: Qatar Stars League (QSL) side Eljaish have roped in Tunisian Nabil Maloul as their new coach, details have revealed. Last week, Lejaish fired coach Razvan Lucescu after an indifferent season in which the QSL side has failed to spark on the pitch. Eljaish have lost their last six matches in QSL. Maaloul, 51, is a football coach and former footballer from Tunisia. He played with the Tunisian national team and participated in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. The former midfielder has signed a two-year deal with Eljaish. He will also manage the side in the remaining three months of the season. The rest of the backroom staff at Eljaish will hold their positions for now, details showed on Tuesday.
