Al-Ain coach Zoran Mamic continued his duties with Al-Zaeem and supervised the friendly match held at Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain in preparation for the second round of the Gulf Arab Football League.

The Croatian coach sat on the bench and faced his players naturally in the presence of very few fans, less than 24 hours after the Saudi sports daily reported that coach Zoran had signed a contract with Al Hilal to take over from midweek.
