Former Austrian national team coach Josef Hickersberger has signed on as coach with Abu Dhabi club side Al Wahda, the Kurier newspaper reported on Wednesday.
He will take over with immediate effect on a contract that runs through until next summer.
The 60-year-old Hickersberger stood down as Austrian coach in late June after failing to take the national side into the last eight of the Euro 2008 finals which the country jointly hosted with Switzerland.
He has previous experience of coaching in the Gulf notably being coach of Al-Sha'ab from 1999-2000.
