Enayati joins Emirates

AFC – DUBAI, UAE League strugglers Emirates have roped in Esteghlal striker Reza Enayati to resurrect their domestic campaign after showing the door to their Tunisian coach Ahmad Al Ajlani recently.

Emirates are on 11th place in the 12-team standings with just six points after 11 rounds and will meet Al Sharjah on January 29.

“I will surely play for Emirates when the league resumes after the break on January 28 but will go there early to know the team well,” Enayati said.

“Though, the team is struggling in the league but there are good players and I hope I can help the team to perform better in the future.”

Enayati (pictured right with Hussain Kazemi) had returned to Iran champions Esteghlal at the beginning of the season after playing for Al Nasr in the UAE League for three years but got less playing time due to the presence of more talented strikers.
