Al Ain Dismisses Coach Hernan Crespo Following Disappointing Run

The decision comes six months after Crespo led the team to an AFC Champions League title.

Hernan Crespo was sacked after a 5-1 loss to Al Nassr in the AFC Champions League Elite, leaving Al Ain at the bottom of their group.
Al Ain's management cited recent poor results as the reason for Crespo's dismissal, despite his previous success in the Champions League.
Since late September, the team has struggled in both the AFC Champions League and the UAE Pro League, where they currently rank eighth.
Crespo's tenure with Al Ain lasted less than a year, highlighted by a Champions League victory over Yokohama F. Marinos in May.
The club has announced plans to appoint a new coach shortly, as they prepare for upcoming competitions including the FIFA Club World Cup.
