Sultan Al Ali (Dubai)
Al Jazira Club dismissed its coach, Roman Radoi, who had hired him last January to replace the sacked Frank de Boer, and appointed French coach Gregory to lead the team until the end of the current season, during which Al Jazira was eliminated from all eligibility, and thus Gregory is the fourth coach for “Pride of Abu Dhabi” this year. season, after Frank de Boer, caretaker Bob de Klerk, then Radoi and now Gregory.
This is the third training station for coach Gregory in “Our League”, as he coached Al Wahda twice, the first in one match in March 2021, the second for approximately 8 months during the 2021-2022 season, the third for two and a half months with Dibba Al Fujairah in the 2022-2023 season, and the fourth. I started with Al Jazeera this April.
All the stations are similar in that they were an “emergency” situation for the clubs, as the French coach had never led any team for a full season, or had been hired since the summer preparation period, but rather every time he was a substitute for a coach who was dismissed after the start of the season.
Perhaps this is one of the main points that makes coach Gregory unjust in not taking his full opportunity, selecting the players, or even preparing them for the season according to his ideas.
His experience in Al-Wahda remains the most successful in his career, as he led the team in the 2021-2022 season during 29 matches, in which he won 18 times and tied 5 times, and lost on 6 occasions, including 3 in the League Cup. At that time, he scored 53 goals and conceded 32 goals. Al-Annabi then moved from confusion and decline to competing for the league title as a match for Al-Ain until the final rounds, and qualified for the final of the President’s Cup, which was postponed to the following season, and Gregory was not the team’s coach and lost. Al Wahda in front of Sharjah.
Al Jazira contracted with Gregory until the end of the season, according to what was announced, and the picture does not appear clear about the expected goal of contracting with the Frenchman other than improving the position and results, as there are only 8 matches remaining until the end of the Al Jazeera season, and Radoui has left behind many negatives in terms of disastrous or disastrous results. Dressing room and players.
Al Jazira got off to a positive start with Gregory, as they tied with Al Ain 2-2 at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, and the players showed fighting spirit until the last minute, during which a draw was recorded.
