André Bikey Joins Al Fateh as New Head Coach

Saudi Arabian club Al Fateh SC has named Cameroonian coach André Stéphane Bikey as their new head coach. Bikey, who was recently the assistant coach at Egyptian giants Zamalek SC, takes over with a tough challenge ahead: pulling Al Fateh out of last place in the Saudi First Division. The team has managed only 6 points from 13 games so far this season.

The club’s management is counting on Bikey’s experience and tactical skills to turn things around. Known for building strong defenses and making smart game plans, Bikey will focus on fixing Al Fateh’s struggling backline and motivating the players to fight for every point.

Bikey arrives with a strong coaching background, having helped Zamalek secure the CAF Confederation Cup during his time there. His ability to organize defenses and adapt tactics under pressure was a big part of Zamalek’s success. The pressure and high expectations he faced at Zamalek have prepared him for the challenge of saving Al Fateh.

Before stepping into coaching, Bikey had an impressive playing career. A tough and versatile player, he could play as a defender or midfielder. He featured in top leagues like the English Premier League, where he played for Reading and Burnley, and also had spells in Russia, Greece, and India. On the international stage, Bikey earned 25 caps for Cameroon and was part of the squad that finished second at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations.

Now, Bikey is tasked with bringing his wealth of experience to Al Fateh’s players, instilling confidence, discipline, and a winning mentality. The road ahead won’t be easy, but with Bikey at the helm, Al Fateh fans will hope to see their team climb out of danger and secure their spot in the league.
