Robbie Fowler, a revered Liverpool icon, recently made his first public statement following his harsh managerial dismissal of Saudi Arabian second-tier team Al-Qadsiah. Fowler, known for his illustrious playing career with Liverpool, shared a cryptic message on social media that hinted at undisclosed circumstances surrounding his dismissal.
Despite Al-Qadsiah’s strong performance under Fowler’s leadership, including an unbeaten start to the league season with six wins and two draws, the club decided to part ways with the former Liverpool striker just last month. Fowler’s appointment to Al-Qadsiah had taken place only earlier in the summer, making the abrupt decision even more intriguing.
While Al-Qadsiah expressed gratitude for Fowler’s contributions during his brief tenure, no official explanation for his dismissal was provided. Fowler, however, alluded to undisclosed events that might have led to his sudden exit.

In a post where he thanked the club’s Peruvian forward Andre Carrillo for gifting him a Peru national team kit, the Liverpool legend broke his silence on the matter.
“Thanks for the gift, Andre; it was a pleasure,” Fowler expressed. “Disappointed with how it ended, but I can’t thank this fella enough. He was fully committed to our project from the very beginning. Hopefully, I can share more details when the time is right.”
Since retiring from professional football in 2012, Fowler has managed teams in various countries, including Muangthong United in Thailand, Brisbane Roar in Australia, and East Bengal in India. Over the course of his managerial career, he has overseen 66 games, with 24 wins, 19 draws, and 23 losses.
Fowler had harbored aspirations of guiding Al-Qadsiah to the Saudi Pro League in the upcoming season, setting the stage for a potential face-off against his former Liverpool teammate, Steven Gerrard, who currently manages Al-Ettifaq.
