Robbie Fowler has spoken out following his shocking dismissal from Saudi Arabian team Al Qadsiah.
The summer saw the appointment of the legendary Liverpool player as manager of the Saudi second-tier team. Furthermore, he lost his job last month despite leading the team in the standings and having an undefeated start to the season. Former Real Madrid and Spain striker Michel has taken his place.
Many people were left perplexed by Fowler’s departure, and the former striker—who Kopites referred to as “God”—has acknowledged he intends to shed more light on his departure from Al Qadsiah in the future.
Posting on X, holding Peru shirt belonging to Al Qadsiah forward André Carrillo’s name on the back, Fowler said: “Thanks for the gift Andre, it was a pleasure. Disappointed with how it ended but can’t thank this fella enough, totally on board with our project from the very first minute. Hopefully I can speak more when the time is right.”
Fowler scored a total of 183 goals in 369 appearances during two spells at Liverpool, while he helped the club win five major trophies and reach the Champions League final in 2007. Fowler also represented Leeds United, Manchester City, Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers in his playing career as well as Australian side North Queensland Fury and Perth Glory before bringing the curtain down at Thai club Muangthong United where he served as player-manager. He was also capped 26 times by England, netting seven goals.
As a manger, Fowler had been in charge of Brisbane Roar and East Bengal before taking up the role at Al Qadsiah.
