Meanwhile, former Atalanta, Roma and Glasgow Rangers striker Claudio Caniggia, who has signed a one-year deal with Qatar SC, is the latest player to ply his trade in the gas-rich state.
Caniggia, who played in three FIFA World Cups, is determined to help Qatar SC hold onto the title they won last season, their first league triumph in 26 years.
"I came to Qatar to please the Qatari football fans and to present them with good football without any intention to seek money or have fun," said Caniggia at a press conference.
The Argentine joins German midfielder Stefan Effenberg and Argentine striker Gabriel Batistuta (Al Arabi), former Real Madrid skipper Fernando Hierro and German defender Mario Basler (Al Rayan), former Barcelona Spanish midfielder Josep Guardiola (Al Ahli) and former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf (Al-Sadd), all of whom will grace the 2003/4 Qatar league.
"Caniggia will be a big benefit for the club and he will form a powerful duo with Angolan striker Fabrice Acua," said Faisal Kawari, the club's football manager.
