After his last stint at Racing Club, the former La Roja manager will replace Brazilian Odair Hellmann, who left the team sixth in the UEA Pro-League.
Juan Antonio Pizzi already has a club to pursue his coaching career. After spending a year away from the bench after leaving Racing without much success, Macanudo returns to action in a United Arab Emirates team that has a long history of Argentine coaching.
Al Wasl trusts ex-Reds manager for next season and introduced him after Brazilian Odair Hellman left who left the team last season in sixth place with 36 points, 29 behind champions Al Ain.
In this way, Pizzi will enter the history of the Transandean technicians who led this team. Among them, of course, Diego Maradona stands out between the 2011 and 2012 seasons. . Héctor Cúper, Gabriel Calderón, Rodolfo Arruabarrena and Gustavo Quinteros also stand out.
Pizzi’s big goal in charge of this team will be to return to the top of the UEA Pro-League and celebrate a title again, since the last league celebrated by Al Wasl dates back to the 2006-07 season, the same year in which he also celebrated the President’s Cup and returned to play in the AFC Champions League.
This will be the coach’s second experience in the Middle East, as after La Roja were left out of the 2018 World Cup, the coach took charge of the Saudi Arabia squad in 2018. with whom he played the World Cup in Russia as part of Group A, eliminated after finishing in third place, registering a victory against Egypt and two defeats against the hosts and Uruguay.
