The report gives no details about the terms of بيتزي's appointment. Al Wahda announced he will take charge next season, citing his reported success with Benfica.
The club wants to improve its standing in the ADNOC Pro League and get stronger results in domestic and continental competitions. Results matter.
Separate from the UAE's Al Wahda, Jordanian club Al-Wehdat were reported to be 8th after three league rounds, with two points.
The report describes بيتزي as a "بطل الأمم والدوري الأوروبي" and points to his successes with Benfica. It gives no further details about the appointment terms.
Available search material does not independently confirm بيتزي's appointment at the UAE club. ESPN's Al-Wahda squad profile lists the team for the 2026-27 season. That roster information does not identify the head coach.
Reports about a coaching change at Jordan's Al-Wehdat concern a different club and a different coach. YSScores reported that Al-Wehdat agreed a deal with Emad Nassar after a mutual termination with the previous coaching staff. That is a separate case.
Africa Soccer reported that Al-Wehdat president Yousef Al-Saqour met the incoming coach in Cairo and agreed the coaching staff's contract terms. The reported staff included Emad El-Nahas, Mohamed Mohsen Abu Greisha, Abdelrahman Farouk and Ayman Mohamed; the club said they were expected to arrive in Jordan on Thursday evening.
For Al Wahda, what بيتزي delivers on the pitch will decide how the move is judged. His reputation gives the appointment its headline. Results will decide.
