During the press conference preceding the match between Jordan and Pakistan for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, Jordanian national team coach Hussein Amotta addressed inquiries from Jordanian media regarding rumors of his potential appointment as the head coach of Wydad Athletic Club, succeeding Tunisian manager Faouzi Benzarti.
Responding to the question, Amotta emphatically denied any such agreement with Wydad officials, stating, “I am here with you.
How could I have reached an agreement with Wydad officials to coach the team?” This statement refutes recent speculations circulating over the past few days about his return to lead the “Red Team.”
Furthermore, during the same press conference held on Monday, the spokesperson expressed profound respect for the Pakistani national team ahead of the anticipated match on Tuesday at the Amman International Stadium.
The coach emphasized the importance of leveraging the home advantage and the support of the crowd to achieve the most significant possible victory, aiming to maintain the upward trajectory that the Jordanian team has demonstrated in the qualifiers.
Last Thursday, Jordan secured a convincing 3-0 victory against Pakistan in the third round of the same qualifiers, showcasing their strength and determination on the field.
