The football club "Al-Ain" expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the trainer and his team for their dedicated work, wishing them success in future endeavors. Leonardo Jardim took on the leadership of "Al-Ain" in November, replacing Argentine coach Hernan Crespo, with the goal of returning the team to the winning path.
In response, "Al-Ain" announced the appointment of Serbian trainer Vladimir Ivic on an 18-month contract as part of efforts to return to winning in the OAA Pro League. The news of the contract termination with the Portuguese mentor Leonardo Jardim coincided with this event.
Nevertheless, the club's hopes for success in the Champions League exceed expectations after their defeat in the group stage to the Qatari club "Al-Rayan". With Ivic's appointment, "Al-Ain" aims to get the team back on the right track to success this season.
In an official statement on the club's website, they confirmed: "The football club 'Al-Ain' has reached an agreement with Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim and his coaching staff for an early termination of the contract by mutual agreement."
