Over the years, the Bani Yas team has constantly aspired to search for warm areas in the Arab Gulf Football League standings, avoiding relegation accounts, as it tasted the bitterness of staying out of the spotlight more than once, but since the arrival of Romanian coach Daniel Isila (49 years). Things turned upside down, as the team under his leadership came out of the shadows to compete for the league title and presence in the AFC Champions League.
And the coach’s imprint appeared clear since the beginning of the season, as “Heavenly” surprised the league’s followers, by leading the competition table in the third round, and losing it later before returning to it two rounds before the end of the competition, and delaying the decision of the title until the last round of the competition, which smiled in meters The latter will be contested by Al-Jazeera, thus postponing the "Heavenly" title for another year.
Isla achieved a real breakthrough in the team’s players, and brought out their potentials that contributed to bringing Baniyas to what it currently represents of great strength, and no one expected that the “heavenly” would continue to compete until the last round at the expense of large teams, such as title holder Sharjah. And the youth of Al-Ahly, Al-Nasr, Al-Wasl, Al-Ain and Al-Wahda.
For his part, the former assistant coach of Baniyas team, Moataz Abdullah, confirmed that “Heavenly” deserved to win the league title, compared to the level he presented under the leadership of Romanian coach Daniel Isila, especially after strengthening his ranks with foreign players, noting that the team ended the league in a position The runner-up was among the goals that the club's management worked on.
Moataz told Al-Emarat Al-Youm: "Coach Isla formed a squad that mixed between the old players and the newcomers, which helped the team achieve victories. They did a good job and the focus was on achieving the President's Cup title, but they did not succeed in it, but on the other hand they were a party They played a major role in the competition for the league title and were close to achieving it.”
Issila is the 16th coach of the heavenly club in the history of his participation in the professional league, but he achieved what others bring, as Bani Yas started with Tunisian coach Lotfi Benzarti, who led the team to qualify and first participate in the professional league, followed by names that have weight similar to the national coach Mahdi Ali. Portugal's Jose Gomez, and Czech Josef Chuvanic.
In the face of the successes achieved by coach Isla, the club’s management succeeded in extending the Romanian coach’s contract until 2023, thus cutting off the road for the clubs that wanted to sign him after the end of the contract that linked him with the team, which was expiring at the end of the last season, and the renewal decision came based on The club management's confidence in the coach, after the great level he presented during the season with his technical staff.
Coach Isila led the Romanian Astra team to achieve the Romanian Cup and the Romanian Super, in addition to the Romanian League runner-up, and qualify for the first time in its history for the European League. .
