Hilal Saeed is back to Al Ain with a two-year contract

 

Al Ain Club has signed a two-year contract with their former Senior Football Team's player Hilal Saeed "34 years" starting from the season 2011/2012. Hilal played in the last three seasons for Al Jazira, and achieved with them the Etisalat Pro-League Championship and the President's Cup for the first time in their history. Al Ain's Romanian coach Olaroiu Cosmin has nominated Hilal among the local players whom Al Ain was intending to sign and rely on during the next season in order to achieve its priorities. The club's administration is keen to provide the team with all possible assistance and means of success after it suffered a lot during the last League Championship and even came close to relegate to the First Division.

 Hilal Saeed has a good record of achievements with Al Ain Team and considered one of the best midfield players in UAE. He played for the National Team and helped them to bag the GCC 18th tournament for the first time in UAE history. He also won many achievements with Al Ain Football Team at the local, Gulf and Continental levels among which was the 2003.Asian Champions League title.

 Hilal had started his career in Al Ain Football School, and continued with the Senior Team until 2008 before moving to Al Jazira.

It was the club's sixth deal in the previous two months after signing before Romanian Merrill Radoi of Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia Club and Argentine Ignacio Martin Skoko of  Athens AEK Club at the level of professional players, in addition to the local players Mohammed Nasser "Al Shabab", goalkeeper Mahmoud Al Mas "Sharjah" and Mohammad Mal Allah. Al Ain is expected to announce during the few coming days their new signings with the third pro. and fourth Asian player.

On the other hand Al Ain Management has reached a compromise with Al Shabab Club over the transfer of goalkeeper Ismail Rabei to play for the latters on loan basis.

 Al Ain has contracted Ismail in the last season but special circumstances prevented him from joining the warm up camp organized recently in Italy and Austria.

Moreover, Al Ain Senior Football Team's Romanian coach Cosmin arrived yesterday evening along with Argentinean Augnacio Skoko and Romanian Merrill Radoi.
Al Ain team is to restart their training program on Wednesday August 4th as part of their preparations for the international friendly championship to be held from 13 to 19 this month with the participation of three GCC teams including Al Shabab of Saudi Arabia, Al Qadsia of Kuwait and Al Riffa of Bahrain along with hosts Al Ain.
