The Oxford-born head coach has recently been appointed Al Kholood's head coach, the first Saudi club 100 per cent owned by foreign investors, The Harburg Group, fronted by American businessman Ben Harburg. Buckingham replaces outgoing boss Noureddine Zekri, with Cosmin Contra having spent 20 days as an interim boss in between. The new boss is excited for the challenge ahead, coming up against coaches like Simone Inzaghi, and players like Cristiano Ronaldo who Buckingham is actually two days younger than.

Feras Al Brikan broke the deadlock with a goal just two minutes into the second half, igniting a dominant performance from Al-Ahli against Al-Kholood.
