Al Ain's new coach, Portuguese Pedro Emmanuel, got a golden opportunity to approach Tottenham's English coach, Jose Mourinho.
Under Mourinho, Emmanuel played for the Porto team during the period in which Special One oversaw technical matters at the Dragao Stadium.
Emanuel was a witness to Porto's crowning Champions League title in 2004 as he entered a substitute in the 85th minute of the second half of the final match, which ended in their favor with three clean.
"Pedro is like a coach on the field, he has the ability to know the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent," Mourinho said in previous statements about Pedro Emmanuel when he was a player on the Porto team.
Al Ain Club did not mention the extent of the contract that will be linked to him with the coach who will replace the Croatian, Ivan Liko, from the position due to poor results. Results.
