Al-Seyassah reported that Al-Nasr handball team coach Manawer Dahash disclosed the club’s completed coaching structure well ahead of the new campaign. Dahash indicated that the full technical staff for every age group will reach Kuwait at the start of August to kick off targeted preparations for the 2026-27 season. The coach noted that management acted early to secure continuity after the senior team’s encouraging results last term. This timeline provides ample opportunity to roll out a structured regimen before competitive matches begin. Such advance planning has become a feature among leading Kuwaiti clubs seeking an edge in the domestic league.
Dahash told Al-Seyassah that the club has extended the contract of Bosnian Davor as head coach following his positive impact. The appointments also bring in Tunisian Mohamed Ali to handle goalkeeping duties for the first team. Compatriots Emad Eddine and Hossam Eddine will assume responsibility for the under-17 and under-15 squads respectively while Egyptian Mohamed Saeed takes the under-13 group. These choices fill every technical slot across the organisation. The coach described the selections as a deliberate step to maintain consistency from top to bottom.
The impending arrival of this group will allow implementation of a detailed program, Dahash explained. Priorities include elevating players’ physical fitness and technical execution while scouting promising youth for future integration. The setup seeks to create a talent pathway that feeds directly into the senior side over coming seasons. Dahash added that the framework has been designed with clear milestones to track progress. Early involvement of all coaches ensures unified messaging from the outset of training.
Recruitment of foreign talent remains under active review by the coaching staff, according to Dahash. Profiles from diverse handball backgrounds are being assessed against specific team needs and tactical fit. Any additions will meet strict technical benchmarks to support ambitions of contending for silverware across competitions. Dahash stressed that decisions will avoid haste and focus solely on quality enhancements. This process aligns with the broader scouting practices common in the Kuwait Premier League where overseas players often raise overall standards.
Dahash praised the club’s management for wrapping up all requirements long before the season starts. The coach said this proactive approach positions every squad to compete at peak readiness once fixtures commence. He highlighted how such foresight minimises disruptions and maximises training quality in the critical pre-season window. The strategy mirrors trends seen across Gulf handball where early organisation has correlated with improved results. Kuwait’s national side has similarly benefited from structured coaching appointments, with the International Handball Federation noting Aron Kristjánsson’s role since March 2025 in driving elevated performance levels.
Further details from Dahash indicate that the technical team will evaluate integration of both retained and new elements into existing systems at Al-Nasr. The focus extends to fostering depth that can withstand the demands of a full season schedule. Dahash reiterated that all moves serve the overarching aim of sustained competitiveness in domestic and regional events. The club’s established position in Kuwaiti handball provides a platform for these changes to take effect swiftly. Preparations will continue to refine the roster as more information on opponents becomes available in the weeks ahead.
