The German tactician has faced a baptism of fire in recent days.

Last season, the 54-year-old led Raja Club Athletic to an invincible double-winning season, breaking all sorts of records along the way, but now the former Orlando Pirates manager is seeing how difficult it is to be successful in the Saudi Arabian top flight.

After starting the latest league campaign without any loss in his first two matches, drawing one and winning the other, the past two matchdays have not gone according to plan for the Schwandorf native.

On Sunday evening, Karim Benzema and his Al Ittihad teammates gave Zinnbauer a major reality check by putting seven goals past the Knights of Mecca.

On Thursday, Al Wehda went up against newly promoted Al Kholood. The game was level going into the second half, but everything changed in the first 15 minutes of the second stanza as Zinnbauer's charges went down to 10 men after Bandar Darwish was booked twice.

Three minutes after the sending-off in the 57th minute, the Saudi Pro League new boys took the lead through Collado and never looked back as Paulo Duarte's men went all the way to 12th on the latest table standings.
