RIYADH: Qatar national team director Fareed Mahboub praised coach Djamal Belmadi for his scrupulous planning after Qatar's 2-1 triumph over Saudi Arabia to clinch the Gulf Cup for the first time away from home soil. The former Al Rayyan keeper said: I dedicate this accomplishment for everyone in Qatar, it has been ten years since the last time we enjoyed such achievement, such matches are played on fine details, and on our bench, we had Belmadi, who proved to be the right man for the job. He continued: while preparing for this tournament, everyone in the Qatar camp knew that our boys have what it takes to emerge victorious by the end of the competition, we will not stop here, we will be gunning for a similar showing in the Asian Cup in Australia. The Qatar squad is expected to receive a warm welcome home when they return to Doha later tonight.
