Al-Wehda club board of directors has announced that the club officially signed Ismaili coach Theo Buecker, replacing Tunisian coach Lotfi Benzarti. The Saudi club said that Buecker will take over the team after his contract with Ismaili runs out at the end of June, Al-Riyadh newspaper reported. Al-Wehda board member Abdullah Khoqair told Al-Watan newspaper on Monday that the German coach is enthusiastic about the prospect of coaching the Mecca-based club. Despite the repeated claims on the part of the Saudi officials that Buecker signed for Al-Wehda, the German coach continues to deny such allegations, noting that he is totally committed to Ismaili.
