Phillipe Coutinho has completed a season-long loan move to Qatari champions Al-Duhail from Aston Villa.
WHAT HAPPENED? The Brazilian midfielder is looking to revive his career away from English shores after a challenging season at Villa. He managed just two substitute appearances in the current campaign which is in stark contrast to his bright form during the 2021-22 season after he joined form Barcelona.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Coutinho rose to the occasion scoring on his Villa debut in a 2-2 draw against Manchester United debut and went on to contribute five goals and three assists in the 2021-22 season. However, injuries and managerial changes affected his playing time and form. His dip in form also saw him miss out on Brazil's 2022 World Cup squad.
