A source within the technical committee of the Khorfakkan Football Company told Emirates Today that former Al Wahda coach Maurice Stein is a strong candidate to train the Eagles to replace Brazilian Paulo Camille, whose services have been dispensed with modest results, the latest loss to Al Jazeera (1-3). The source said: «The technical committee examined the biographies of coaches from Serbia and Brazil have never worked with the UAE clubs, which contributed to their exclusion from the training of Khorfakkan, in addition to the Dutch coach Maurice Stein, who is closest to sign him in the event of a technical emergency, stressing that The technical committee recommended this to the football company, which will take the appropriate decision in the coming hours ».
Khorfakkan sacked his Brazilian coach after a series of successive losses and no win in both tournaments, while Maurice Stein led Al Wahda in three games, winning one and losing two before being sacked.
