Portuguese Jose Peseiro signed here Saturday a three-month SR2.75 million (550,000 euros) contract with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation to coach the national soccer side.
Prince Nawaf Bin Faisal, Vice President of Youth Welfare and Vice President of SAFF and Chairman of the National Teams and Players' Affairs Committee, signed the contract with the Portuguese coach.
