Nasser Al-Hadiri has been named head coach of the Mediterranean Knights, according to the Libya Football Federation.
After Serbian strategist Milutin Sredojevic was fired due to the team’s dismal performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series, Al-Hadri will take over.
Misbah Shangab will coach the goalkeepers, and Abu Bakr Al-Harak will help him.
In 2014, the new head coach worked as an assistant for the Libyan national team under Javier Clemente of Spain.
The LFF’s president, Abdul Hakim Al-Shalmani, said that the organization has agreed to have Al-Hadiri head the squad.
On Friday, October 11, Libya and the Super Eagles of Nigeria will square off in a 2025 AFCON qualifying match at Uyo.
Four days later, in Benin, the Mediterranean Knights will play host to the three-time African champions.
