São Paulo – Brazilian coach Lindsay Camila will be in charge of Al Ittihad women’s football team in Saudi Arabia. She left the position as head coach of Bahia women’s team after being the Brazil’s A2 women’s football series champion and was confirmed by Al-Ittihad Ladies Club on Tuesday (13).
At the club facilities in Jeddah, Camila said she’s “happy” to join the team. She had been transferred to Bahia earlier this year from São Paulo’s Ferroviária, where she won the Copa Libertadores in 2021.
