UAE manager Dalic targets major trophies

UAE manager Zlatko Dalic has expressed high aspirations for his squad as he seeks to restore the nation's success on the football pitch. The Croatian coach, who took charge in August, confirmed that his objectives are aligned with the national association’s goal of securing major silverware.

Dalic noted that while the current group shows promise, significant development is required to meet the team’s long-term competitive standards. His focus is currently on the Gulf Cup, though analysts suggest his overarching ambition is to lead the UAE to success at the continental level.
