The decision comes after the club’s defeat in the Saudi Pro League title race to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.

Conceicao, who had only joined the club in October to replace Laurent Blanc still had one year left on his contract.

Al-Ittihad concluded their campaign in fifth place with just 55 points, a whopping 31 points off newly crowned Al Nassr.
