Liverpool's Kona became the coach of Saudi Arabia's second division team Aqadisha in June this year, and the results are quite good, with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2nd place in the 8 league matches in the beginning of the season. However, the club is still dissatisfied with the situation, announcing that it will terminate the contract of the 48-year-old English manager, and hiring Real Madrid's famous coach Michael to take over as the leader of the team.
Konar has been coaching in the Asia-Pacific region since he started his career in 2011, including Thailand's Monthon United, Australia's Brisbane Lions, and India's East Bengal. He became the manager of Ekadisha in June this year, and has won six of his eight league matches this season, earning six wins and two draws, making them the only undefeated team in the league, and is only a point behind table-topping AIBA, so he is optimistic about his chances of promotion, and is a huge improvement over his 11th-placed finish last season. However, Ekadiza still decided to change their manager, which is puzzling, as they seem to think that the 2nd place is still not good enough.
