Ex-Ajax coach Alfred Schreuder fired from Al-Ain FC

Despite strong performances

Al-Ain FC and coach Alfred Schreuder are going their separate ways again after almost four months. As the club from the UAE Pro League announced, the contract was terminated by mutual consent. The reason given is a lack of consistency between Schreuder’s and his employees’ working methods and the work processes in the club. Al-Ain did not provide any further details about the differences between the club management and the coaching team.

The exit for Schreuder comes as a surprise as Al-Ain, under the leadership of the 51-year-old Dutchman, have won 13 times in 15 games this season. In the UAE Pro League, the club is in third place, two points behind the top of the table, and in the AFC Champions League it reached the round of 16 for the first time since 2017/18. It was Schreuder’s first job after leaving Ajax Amsterdam last January, and a successor will be presented shortly.
