Why Join Us?
Banaat FC is building a genuine pathway for girls in football, from their first Academy experience through to competitive youth football and ultimately the First Team. This is a club that values each player's development as well as creating a positive environment and community for girls in football.
Our Academy is entering its next stage of development, and we are looking for coaches who want to raise standards, develop serious players and grow with the club.
Location: Dubai, UAE
Position: Full-Time

To apply, send your CV, coaching licenses and a short introduction to [email protected].
I think this is stronger than advertising an “Academy Director” right now because Academy Head Coach still sounds senior, but the job itself is clearly about coaching, player development and helping shape the Academy rather than artificially creating a management layer you don’t need yet.
Description
Dubai, UAE | Full-Time | Immediate Start
Banaat FC is looking for an experienced and ambitious Academy Head Coach to join our growing girls’ football Academy in Dubai.
This is a hands-on coaching role for someone who is passionate about elite youth player development, understands how to develop girls technically and tactically, and wants to play an important role in raising the standard of a fast-growing Academy.
The successful candidate will likely take responsibility for our U17 team alongside 2–3 additional Academy age groups, depending on experience and coaching profile.
The Role
You will:
- Lead the coaching and development of multiple Academy teams, including likely responsibility for U17.
- Plan and deliver high-quality technical and tactical training sessions.
- Build clear player development objectives across your assigned age groups.
- Prepare teams for league matches, tournaments and competitions.
- Conduct player and team analysis to support individual development.
- Work closely with the wider coaching team to create consistency across the Academy.
- Contribute to the development of Banaat FC’s coaching methodology, curriculum and player pathway.
- Support player assessments, trials, recruitment and squad selection.
- Build strong relationships with players and parents while maintaining high professional standards.
- Contribute beyond the pitch where needed as the Academy continues to grow.
We’re Looking For
- UEFA B / AFC B license or higher preferred.
- Strong experience coaching youth football.
- A proven ability to develop players technically, not simply manage teams.
- Experience coaching girls or women is highly desirable.
- Confidence coaching across different youth age groups.
- Strong leadership, communication and personality.
- Organized and comfortable with session planning, player development plans and analysis.
- Someone proactive, adaptable and excited by the opportunity to help build something — not simply deliver sessions.
- Fluent English.
- Available to relocate to Dubai and join immediately.
