French legend Villott was interviewed by the media and expressed his views on the victory of Koeman joining Riyadh from Bayern.

Vertod said: "To be honest, who can refuse such a generous offer? Koeman has been playing at Bayern for ten years, which is rare in today's football. He won everything at Bayern. It is understandable that he goes to the Saudi League. Now is the right time. There is only one life, and you will not have a second chance."

"The Saudi League has become more competitive year after year, and you just need to look at the names of those big-name stars. It is incredible that some young talented players are also playing there. In the Club World Cup, you can see these teams in the Saudi League are constantly improving."
