Fujairah hire Hasek as third coach of season after firing Abdulqadir

Fujairah on Thursday named Ivan Hasek as their new coach after parting ways with Abdulwahab Abdulqadir, following the team's 3-0 loss to Al Shabab in the Arabian Gulf League on Tuesday.

Hasek’s first game with the promoted club is set for the Zabeel Stadium against Al Wasl on Sunday.

He is Fujairah’s third coach this season, following Djemal Hadziabdic, the Bosnian who was dismissed before the start of the season, and Abdulqadir, appointed after the Iraqi was fired from Ajman.

Fujairah are 12th in the league table, with nine points after 10 games. They were hammered 7-0 by Baniyas, but bounced back to stun Sharjah 2-0 in their next game.

However, the defeat that followed was Abdulqadir’s last match.

Hasek returns to the UAE for the third time, having managed Wasl in 2005 and Al Ahli twice from 2007 to 2009, and again in 2011.

The Czech was successful at Ahli in his first spell, leading them to the President’s Cup in 2008 and the league title in ’09.

Hasek left Dubai to take up dual roles as chairman of the Czech football federation and manager of their national team, but returned to Ahli in 2011. He did not enjoy the same success as his first stay and was dismissed after a set of poor results.

Hasek arrived at Fujairah after being sacked by Qatar Sports Club following two defeats in the season’s two games. Prior to that, he had spells at Saudi Arabia clubs Al Ahli and Al Hilal.

Important questions to consider

1. Where on the plane does my pet travel?

There are different types of travel available for pets:

Manifest cargo
Excess luggage in the hold
Excess luggage in the cabin

Each option is safe. The feasibility of each option is based on the size and breed of your pet, the airline they are traveling on and country they are travelling to.

2. What is the difference between my pet traveling as manifest cargo or as excess luggage?

If traveling as manifest cargo, your pet is traveling in the front hold of the plane and can travel with or without you being on the same plane. The cost of your pets travel is based on volumetric weight, in other words, the size of their travel crate.

If traveling as excess luggage, your pet will be in the rear hold of the plane and must be traveling under the ticket of a human passenger. The cost of your pets travel is based on the actual (combined) weight of your pet in their crate.

3. What happens when my pet arrives in the country they are traveling to?

As soon as the flight arrives, your pet will be taken from the plane straight to the airport terminal.

If your pet is traveling as excess luggage, they will taken to the oversized luggage area in the arrival hall. Once you clear passport control, you will be able to collect them at the same time as your normal luggage. As you exit the airport via the ‘something to declare’ customs channel you will be asked to present your pets travel paperwork to the customs official and / or the vet on duty.

If your pet is traveling as manifest cargo, they will be taken to the Animal Reception Centre. There, their documentation will be reviewed by the staff of the ARC to ensure all is in order. At the same time, relevant customs formalities will be completed by staff based at the arriving airport.

4. How long does the travel paperwork and other travel preparations take?

This depends entirely on the location that your pet is traveling to. Your pet relocation compnay will provide you with an accurate timeline of how long the relevant preparations will take and at what point in the process the various steps must be taken.

In some cases they can get your pet ‘travel ready’ in a few days. In others it can be up to six months or more.

5. What vaccinations does my pet need to travel?

Regardless of where your pet is traveling, they will need certain vaccinations. The exact vaccinations they need are entirely dependent on the location they are traveling to. The one vaccination that is mandatory for every country your pet may travel to is a rabies vaccination.

Other vaccinations may also be necessary. These will be advised to you as relevant. In every situation, it is essential to keep your vaccinations current and to not miss a due date, even by one day. To do so could severely hinder your pets travel plans.

What is a robo-adviser?

Robo-advisers use an online sign-up process to gauge an investor’s risk tolerance by feeding information such as their age, income, saving goals and investment history into an algorithm, which then assigns them an investment portfolio, ranging from more conservative to higher risk ones.

These portfolios are made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs) with exposure to indices such as US and global equities, fixed-income products like bonds, though exposure to real estate, commodity ETFs or gold is also possible.

Investing in ETFs allows robo-advisers to offer fees far lower than traditional investments, such as actively managed mutual funds bought through a bank or broker. Investors can buy ETFs directly via a brokerage, but with robo-advisers they benefit from investment portfolios matched to their risk tolerance as well as being user friendly.

Many robo-advisers charge what are called wrap fees, meaning there are no additional fees such as subscription or withdrawal fees, success fees or fees for rebalancing.
