Portuguese coach Helio Sousa, who guided Bahrain to their first-ever Gulf Cup title in 2019, says that the national team has all the tools to become champions once again.
Speaking with the GDN by phone this evening in an exclusive interview, Sousa described the kingdom’s internationals as “fantastic” and “a special team”, who are more than capable of capturing the crown in tomorrow's final against Oman.
“They are fantastic players, and more importantly they are fantastic persons,” Sousa, who was in charge of the senior men’s squad from 2019 to 2023, told the GDN.
“They have quality, they have competence, and they have a very special fire when they play for the national team.
“They always want to honour the country and are almost unbeatable when they are fighting for Bahrain. They are a fantastic group, a special team, and they can achieve the Gulf Cup again.
"The team has all the conditions to become champions and they deserve it. I am sure they will try their best in the final and leave it all on the pitch.”
