Al Wakrah have announced the appointment of Chile’s Jose Luis Sierra as head coach, succeeding Spaniard Vicente Moreno, who recently departed to take charge of Al Rayyan. The club did not disclose the duration of Sierra‘s deal. The 57-year-old began his coaching career in 2010 with Chilean side Union Espanola, where he remained until 2015 before moving to Colo-Colo for a one-season spell.
Sierra then embarked on his first experience in the Gulf region, taking charge of Saudi club Al Ittihad from 2016 to 2018, guiding them to both the Crown Prince Cup and King Cup titles. He later coached UAE side Al Ahli’s youth team for one season before returning to Al Ittihad for another stint.
The Chilean tactician subsequently managed Palestino during the 2020-2021 season.
Most recently, Sierra coached Saudi club Al Ta’ee in the 2021-2022 season before leading compatriot side Al Wahda from 2022 to 2025. Al Wakrah currently sit eighth in the Qatar Stars League standings with 23 points from 19 matches this season.
