Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Antoine Kombouare is returning to football in the Middle East.

 

Kombouare was sacked by PSG at the halfway point of last season and left a side sitting comfortably on top of Ligue 1.

 

He was dispensed with in order to bring in the bigger name of Carlo Ancelotti, who then proceeded to lose first place as PSG were beaten to the title by Montpellier.

 

Kombouare was widely thought hard done to and has had a number of offers to return to the game.

 

But rather than staying in France, the former PSG boss is heading to Saudi Arabia.

 

Kombouare is taking charge of Al Hilal.
