The temperamental Argentine brought much-needed attention to the United Arab Emirates league, but was unable to turn around the Dubai club.
Metsu was the national coach in both the UAE and Qatar and also worked in several clubs in the emirates.
Before coming to the Gulf, the Frenchman reached the quarter final of the 2002 World Cup with Senegal.
