After a bit of a football trip from Strømsgodset, to Celtic, then Vålerenga, New York City FC, Standard Liege and a guest stay at Club Brugge, Ronny Deila got on a long-haul flight to the Emirates. Okay, we thought, a little side road before it carries back to bigger tasks. Less than six months later, the desert adventure is over.

On Wednesday, Al Wahda announced that they are ending their collaboration with Deila with immediate effect.

The 49-year-old signed a contract in July, now he leaves his new club in fourth place in the UAE Pro League with 18 points from 10 games.

Well.
