The Reality of Ben Zakri Negotiating for the UAE National Team
Media personality Ahmed Al-Jadi confirmed that Tunisian coach Nourredine Ben Zakri will continue with Al-Khulood, thus ending rumors about his departure.
These confirmations coincided with reports indicating negotiations between the UAE Football Association and Ben Zakri to temporarily lead the national team following the dismissal of Portuguese Paulo Bento.
Bento's dismissal came despite the UAE's victory over North Korea in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, opening the door for speculation regarding his potential successor.
In a tweet on his account on the platform "X", Al-Jadi clarified that Ben Zakri has not received any official offer from the UAE Football Association, confirming his continuation with Al-Khulood.
With this decision, Al-Khulood maintains its technical stability, as Ben Zakri continues to lead the team with the ambition of achieving the goals of the current season.
