Robert Saleh was born to his parents, Sam and Fatin, in Dearborn, Michigan, US, on January 31, 1979.

Following his collegiate playing career, he started his coaching career at the collegiate level in 2002.

Later, Saleh interned with the Houston Texans of the NFL, and in the following years, he served for several NFL teams as a defensive and linebackers coach.

Moreover, On January 14, 2021, Saleh’s name was inscribed into the pages of history as he became NFL’s first Muslim head coach.

Robert Saleh Wife Sanaa Saleh: Married Life And kids

Sanaa Zinab Kaid is the wife of the Jet’s head coach Robert Saleh. Just like her husband Robert, Sanaa Saleh is also a Muslim.

There is little to no information about Robert’s wife, Sanaa, as she likes to distance herself from the online world and the paparazzi lenses.

Despite this, we’ve come to know that both Saleh and his wife Sanaa attended Fordson High School.

So, it can be assumed that they might have known each other since high school. Additionally, there is this possibility that the two might have started dating in high school.
