UAE Football Clubs Face Issues: From Agent Disputes to Coach Decisions

Agents are questioning fans of a professional league club about why the management is focusing on entrusting one agent with the task of signing players and coaches, despite most of the contracts signed with him failing to yield any sporting benefits or good results for the team.

Players in a first division team have confirmed that they have not seen any improvement in their performance under the current coach, who focuses daily training on physical fitness while clearly neglecting tactical aspects. This has put the team in a poor position in the league standings.

Players in a first division team are feeling psychological pressure, especially on the day before a match, due to some unintentional mistakes made by an administrator. However, they prefer not to address the issue.

A official in a professional league club is surprised by the substitutions made by the European coach during matches, describing them as "useless" because they keep the team's tactical approach the same without raising its competitive level, meaning they are "made just for the sake of substituting."

A local coach in one of the leagues is surprised that his club has not allocated a salary for him since he was included in the financial support provided by the football federation, despite it being a small amount, noting that this does not encourage him to work with high enthusiasm.

A sports agent has offered the management of a professional league club a deal to sign Morocco's national team coach, Taoufik Skitiwi, who achieved remarkable results with the "Atlas Lions" at the Arab Cup, in preparation for the upcoming season.
