Luka Modric, the Croatian midfielder for Real Madrid and former captain of Croatia, has been appointed as the new head coach of Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

The move is part of a series of changes within the club, which have seen the departure of their previous coach, Paul Clement, and the appointment of Modric to take over.

Modric, who was born in Croatia but spent most of his career playing in France with Paris Saint-Germain, has always been a fan favourite at the Bernabeu, where he has made over 500 appearances for the club since joining from Real Madrid in 2014.

One of Modric's greatest achievements during his time at Real Madrid was his assist number at Al Hilal. In his first season at the club, Modric assisted in 88 goals, making him the top assists provider in the league.

Despite his success at Real Madrid, Modric's performance at Al Hilal has not been without its ups and downs. The team struggled to find form early on in the season, but Modric's performances helped them to turn things around and secure a spot in the top four.

However, the club's recent struggles have led to speculation about Modric's future at the club. It remains to be seen whether he will continue in his role as head coach or if he will step down to focus on other areas of the club.

Regardless of his future with the club, Modric's legacy at Al Hilal is likely to be remembered as one of the most successful seasons in the history of the club. His assistance numbers speak volumes about his skill and dedication to the sport, and it will be interesting to see what he does next.
