The eighth round of the ADNOC Professional League, which starts the day after tomorrow, will witness heavy-caliber confrontations, with three influential confrontations in the title struggle: Al Jazira with Al Wasl at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, and Shabab Al Ahli with Al Ain at Rashid Stadium in Dubai Sharjah and Al Wahda at the Sharjah Stadium, while four coaches will enter the “circle of doubt” about their future with their teams if they stumble in this round.

The "King" regained the top spot in the league standings, after falling to second place in the sixth round, but Al-Wasl stumbled in the seventh round with a 2-2 draw at home with Ittihad Kalba, and Sharjah's victory outside Al-Bataeh 1-0 pushed it to the top with 16 points against 15 connection points.

The results of the eighth round may contribute to an increase in the number of coaches who were dispensed with their services this season, after the previous rounds witnessed several dismissals, as Al Wahda Club announced the dismissal of Portuguese coach Carlos Carvalhal on the third of October after “Al Annabi” beat Al-Bataeh 4-0 in the round. The fourth, and he contracted with the Spaniard Manuel Jimenez, and the second dismissal came on the eighth of October, when Dibba Al-Fujairah dispensed with Serbian coach Zoran Bobwich, after the loss of "Al-Nawakhida" against Al-Ain with two goals without a response in the fifth round, and he signed with the French Gregory Dufrenes.

On the other hand, Al Dhafra coach, Serbian Nebosha Sovic, is one of the most prominent names nominated to leave if the team falters in its eighth round match, when it faces a difficult confrontation outside its home against Bani Yas.

Al Dhafra has four points in the 13th place after winning one match, and the irony is that it came in one of its most difficult matches against Al-Shabab Al-Ahly with three goals to two, while it lost in five matches against Al-Ain, Ittihad Kalba, Al-Wasl, Al-Bataeh and Al-Wahda.

Al Dhafra has the weakest line of defense in the competition, conceding 22 goals, while scoring seven goals in seven matches.

And joins the list of threatened coaches, German Thorsten Fink, who witnessed victory under his leadership his worst start in the professional league, after he scored six points in the 11th place, as the team won in only one match over Ajman, and lost against Al Wasl, Al Wahda and Al Ain, and drew against Al Dhafra, Khorfakkan and Baniyas, and the victory confrontation with Ittihad Kalba may be decisive for the fate of the German coach.

The only national coach in the ADNOC Professional League, Abdulaziz Al-Anbari, faces the same fate with Khor Fakkan, after the “Nours” got five points in 12th place, with the team’s victory in one match against Al-Bataeh, and its loss in four matches against Baniyas, Al-Jazira, Sharjah and Shabab Al-Ahly. with Ajman.

Khorfakkan is playing a fateful confrontation against its direct competitor in the struggle to escape relegation, the Dibba Al-Fujairah team at Saqr bin Muhammad Al Qasimi Stadium in Khorfakkan, as this match represents a "breaking point" for the fate of Al-Anbari.

Finally, Dutch coach Marcel Kaiser faces several criticisms, despite Al Jazeera's strong start with the team's victory in the first three rounds over Dibba Al Fujairah, Khorfakkan and Al Ain, and its participation in Sharjah at the top of the standings, but Al Jazeera did not taste the taste of victory in four consecutive rounds, with a tie with each of Bani Yas. And Sharjah, then losing from the youth of Al-Ahly and Ajman.

Serbian coach Al Dhafra Nebosha Sovic.

Khorfakkan coach Abdulaziz Al-Anbari.
