Ahmad Abdul-Jabar (Arabic: احمد العبدالجبار جاسم) (born 8 January 1978) is an Iraqi former Iraq national football team football player who is currently manager of Al-Karkh SC. Ahmad, known as Al-Alemane ('The German') by his teammates, due to his fair skin and hair. He bore a slight resemblance to Brazilian Juninho of Middlesbrough and Atletico Madrid. It was Hamad who encouraged him to use his imagination more on the field, by thinking of himself as a fox; cunning and clever.
