Home Sport Lebanon coach quits after failed WCup campaign 22-06-2013 02:35 PM Ammon News - BEIRUT (AP) - Lebanon coach Theo Buecker says he is leaving the national team after it failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup and is taking over at Saudi club side Al-Ettifaq. Buecker, who has coached Lebanon since 2011, told The Associated Press on June 20 that he has signed a one-year contract with the Dammam-based club. Lebanon's World Cup failure was largely due to a match-fixing scandal which implicated 24 players - including six involved in qualifying matches. Two of the 24 players were banned for life and the rest were given lesser sanctions. A veteran of the Middle Eastern football, the 64-year-old German has previously coached four Saudi clubs and has held 16 positions in clubs in the eight countries of the region, including in Libya, Egypt and Qatar.
