Al Ain manager Serhiy Rebrov announced his departure following his team’s 2-1 defeat to Sharjah in the League Cup final at Al Nahyan Stadium on Saturday.
The Ukrainian, completing his second season in charge, led Al Ain to the Adnoc Pro League and League Cup double in his first campaign. The Garden City club finished three points behind Shabab Al Ahli as runners-up in this season's league table.
Rebrov is soon expected to be confirmed as the new manager of the Ukraine national team.
“The ADIB Cup was my last game with Al Ain. I was hoping to end my time with this great club with a title, but we weren’t lucky enough on the night,” Rebrov said.
“I would like to thank the management, players and fans, and the two wonderful seasons I spent at Al Ain. We tried our best but the absence of our key forwards due to injuries didn’t help our cause.”
Al Ain have moved on quickly to appoint former Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder as Rebrov’s replacement.
“We thank Serhiy Rebrov for his time and the good work in his two seasons at the club and wish him all the best in his future endeavours,” Al Ain said in a statement.
For Sharjah, the League Cup final triumph was their third win over Al Ain this season, after their victories in the Super Cup in February and last month’s President’s Cup final.
“The success we have had this season was a collective effort from the players and management, and obviously I’m so happy with the achievements,” said Sharjah manager Cosmin Olaroiu, who has led the club to fourth four trophies since taking charge 18 months ago.
“Our objective was to try and win every title. It’s a long and hard season in which we have to deal with injuries and fatigue that are not unusual. It’s all worked out well for us.”
Sharjah finished seventh in the league, but Olaroiu regards winning three of the four domestic trophies as an impressive achievement.
Sharjah rallied from a goal down to beat Al An on Saturday. Al Ain took the lead after half an hour when Kouame Antonne fired a powerful shot into the top corner off a long ball from Bandar Al Ahbabi.
Sharjah equalised eight minutes later as Luan Pereira timed his run perfectly to head in Marcus Vinicius' cross.
Sharjah were then awarded a penalty after Pereira was brought down inside the box by Rafael Pereira.
Caio Lucas made no mistake from the spot and put his side ahead in the first half's stoppage time after stepping up and sending the goalkeeper Khalid Eisa the wrong way.

What you as a drone operator need to know
A permit and licence is required to fly a drone legally in Dubai.
Sanad Academy is the United Arab Emirate’s first RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) training and certification specialists endorsed by the Dubai Civil Aviation authority.
It is responsible to train, test and certify drone operators and drones in UAE with DCAA Endorsement.
“We are teaching people how to fly in accordance with the laws of the UAE,” said Ahmad Al Hamadi, a trainer at Sanad.
“We can show how the aircraft work and how they are operated. They are relatively easy to use, but they need responsible pilots.
“Pilots have to be mature. They are given a map of where they can and can’t fly in the UAE and we make these points clear in the lectures we give.
“You cannot fly a drone without registration under any circumstances.”
Larger drones are harder to fly, and have a different response to location control. There are no brakes in the air, so the larger drones have more power.
The Sanad Academy has a designated area to fly off the Al Ain Road near Skydive Dubai to show pilots how to fly responsibly.
“As UAS technology becomes mainstream, it is important to build wider awareness on how to integrate it into commerce and our personal lives,” said Major General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief, Dubai Police.
“Operators must undergo proper training and certification to ensure safety and compliance.
“Dubai’s airspace will undoubtedly experience increased traffic as UAS innovations become commonplace, the Forum allows commercial users to learn of best practice applications to implement UAS safely and legally, while benefitting a whole range of industries.”

Who is Tim-Berners Lee?
Sir Tim Berners-Lee was born in London in a household of mathematicians and computer scientists. Both his mother, Mary Lee, and father, Conway, were early computer scientists who worked on the Ferranti 1 - the world's first commercially-available, general purpose digital computer. Sir Tim studied Physics at the University of Oxford and held a series of roles developing code and building software before moving to Switzerland to work for Cern, the European Particle Physics laboratory. He developed the worldwide web code as a side project in 1989 as a global information-sharing system. After releasing the first web code in 1991, Cern made it open and free for all to use. Sir Tim now campaigns for initiatives to make sure the web remains open and accessible to all.
