Bert Van Marwijk becomes UAE’s head-coach for the second time
A year after being dismissed by UAE’s federation, Dutchman Van Marwijk has been appointed for the role for the second time.
The UAE’s FA has tweeted they have reached an agreement with the 68-year-old to return to the post ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualification round.
Van Marwijk
most famously led the
Netherlands
to the 2010 World Cup finals, where they lost the title to Spain. The Dutchman was sacked from the UAE national team’s role following a 4-2 defeat to
Qatar
during the Gulf Cup last December.
He also led
Saudi Arabia
to the finals of the 2018 World Cup qualification, before leaving the role as his contract expired. He then coached
Australia
at the 2018 World Cup on a short-term deal.
UAE
have lost World Cup preliminaries to
Thailand
and
Vietnam
, hence, they need most from their remaining qualification matches next year.
