Abdullah Abu Zema (Arabic: عبد الله أبو زمع) is a Jordanian association football coach of Palestinian descent.

Career

Abu Zema officially announced his retirement in playing football at the age of 29 after sustaining an injury.^[1] An international friendly match was played between his country Jordan and Armenia on 1 August 2005 in Amman, sponsored by Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein. After playing the first five minutes of the match, Abu Zema gave the captain armband to his teammate Haitham Al-Shboul as well as his #18 jersey shirt to his younger teammate Hassan Abdel-Fattah and left the field.

Coaching career

After retiring from playing football, Abu Zema became one of the assistant coaches of his national team (2006–09), under head coaches Mahmoud El-Gohary (2006–07) and Nelo Vingada (2007–09) until the Iraqi Adnan Hamad took over coaching the national team. When Dragan Talajić became head manager of Shabab Al-Ordon (2009–10), Abu Zema became his assistant coach ever since then. They both then moved to Abu Zema's home club Al-Wehdat (2010–11). When Ra'fat Ali, one of Abu Zema's companions, took proficiency in Kuwait, Abu Zema and Talajić joined him by coaching his team (2011–12).

Abu Zema had finally become a head coach himself when he began coaching Al-Wehdat in February 2013, succeeding the Egyptian Mohammad Omar who failed to help Al-Wehdat reach the semi-finals of the 2012–13 Jordan Cup losing to Al-Ramtha SC on penalties in the quarter-finals, and losing to the 2012–13 Jordan league winners Shabab Al-Ordon in the second half of the season.
