Follow-up – Yasser El-Sherif and Khaled Talaat: Ismaili head coach Theo Buecker played down reports that indicated that he signed for Saudi club Al-Wehda and insisted that he wasn’t approached by any of the club’s officials.

The German boss told FilGoal.com that he has a contract with Ismaili and that he is going to respect it.

“I heard a lot of rumors about me coaching Saudi club Al-Wehda, but I didn’t meet with any Saudi officials lately,” Buecker said.

Saudi daily Al-Watan had reported on Thursday that Buecker signed for Wehda and that he was going to takeover the club starting of next season.

The report also stated that Wehdat official Abdullah Khoqeir finalized the Buecker one-year deal for $250,000, with the salary and down-payment all inclusive, and said that he was going to start coaching the team from July.
