Saintfiet, a former Ethiopia tactician will start work on Saturday and will lead his new team against Lebanon in a friendly match scheduled for 16th October.
Barely a month after he was shown the door by Kagame Cup champions Yanga, Tom Saintfiet has landed a new job as the Yemen national team coach.
The Belgian was axed following a poor start to the Vodacom Premier League despite propelling them to the regional title.
“It’s true I’m the Yemen National team coach. I’m happy and delighted with this new task because it shows I have the potential.”
“I hope to achieve something and lift the level of Yemen football. It won’t be easy but I proved in the past that this suits me,” said Saintfiet.
In their recent encounter, the team lost 4-0 to Morocco in the Arab Nations Cup and the Belgian will be tasked to turn their fortunes around.
Yemen are 157th on Fifa rankings.
