AFC Champions League-chasing Al Wasl have received a huge boost for the final weeks of the season after boss Rodolfo Arruabarrena inked a contract extension on Sunday.

Since his summer arrival, the 41-year-old has rejuvenated a club who’d registered consecutive sixth-placed finishes under irascible fellow Argentinian Gabriel Calderon.

The Cheetahs are currently in the third-and-final qualification spot, with only two games left. They last played in the competition in 2008.

The terms of the agreement with the ex-Boca Juniors boss have not been revealed.
