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 United Arab 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.
Al Wahda is very keen that they have won something, I would encourage everyone to take a look at their Intragram profile. 🙂
On Saturday, Ronny Deila’s club lost 0-2. The next day, he was in the stands when two leaves Deila helped win the European Championship gold in handball in Vienna. On Wednesday, the energetic coach is out of work. A few hours later, a possible return to MLS is announced.
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.
“All” New York remembers the energetic Norwegian who did bare-chested push-ups after leading New York City FC to victory in the MLS Cup in 2021. Pep Guardiola saw what Manchester City’s sister club achieved with Deila at the helm, and said he was mightily impressed.
At Atlanta United, Deila’s immediate availability after being sacked on Wednesday is being received with great enthusiasm. Deila left MLS as the big winner.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Deila is now a strong candidate for the vacant coaching job that will be filled in the coming weeks.
We are more than happy to take another round with Deila in MLS.
