Radhi Jaïdi bounces back on the Nejmeh SC bench in Lebanon

Without a club since leaving Paradou AC in October 2024, Radhi Jaïdi has just found a new challenge.

The Tunisian coach has reached an agreement with Nejmeh Sporting Club in Lebanon to take charge of the first football team for the next two seasons.

This marks the 49-year-old manager’s fourth coaching adventure after previous spells at Hartford (2019-2020), Espérance Sportive de Tunis (2021-2022), and Paradou AC (2024).

The 2004 AFCON winner has also coached the youth teams at Southampton and worked as an assistant at Cercle Brugge.

Nejmeh SC is one of Lebanon’s most decorated clubs, boasting 9 league titles, 8 Lebanese Cups, 6 Lebanese Super Cups, and 12 Elite Cups.

According to Mosaïque FM, Radhi Jaïdi is the new head coach of Nejmeh.

As a player, he was the first 🇹🇳 in the Premier League (2004) and captain of the national team.
As a coach, he led Southampton U23s & won the 🇹🇳 Super Cup with
Espérance.
