Pepa took to social media at the end of Tuesday morning to react to the (unexpected) dismissal from Al-Ahli Doha, a club he had only been in charge of since October of last year, 2023.

"It is with great surprise that I leave Al-Ahli Doha. I could write a lot, but I prefer to thank the players and our staff, for all their effort in this journey that gave us so many points," he began by writing.

"The reasons are difficult to accept, but my smile, competence and passion for work will never be affected. A hug and gratitude to a fantastic country," he added, in his 'goodbye' to Qatar.

The decision comes after a cycle of three consecutive matches in which the Portuguese coach was unable to triumph, sending the team to ninth place in the table.
