Abdul-Wahab Abu Al-Hail Labid (Arabic: عبدالوهاب ابولهیل لابد, born 21 September 1976) is a coach and former Iraqi football midfielder. He took over coaching the last team he played for, Al-Talaba, in September 2013 for the upcoming season.
Abdul-Wahab Abou Al-Hail was a key member of the Iraqi national team and one of the most coveted properties in Iraqi football. A jewel in midfield, equipped with remarkable ball control, accurate passing, shooting and is particularly threatening at free-kicks. His coach Milan Zivadinovic once described him as 'Our Ronaldo', due to his importance to the side and his short 'Ronaldoesque' hair cut. He came into the international scene during the Nehru Cup in 1997, missing a penalty in the shoot-out win over India.
Abu Al-Hail started his career with Al Talaba. He left the club in 1999, moving to Al-Akhaa Al-Ahli of Lebanon and then to Al-Shaab of the United Arab Emirates. In 2003, he moved to Iran, playing for Esteghlal Ahvaz, Sepahan and Foolad, his current club.
At international level, Abu Al-Hail featured prominently in Iraq's qualifying campaign for the 2002 FIFA World Cup under then coach Rudolf Belin. Olympic manager Adnan Hamad called the midfielder into his squad for the 2004 Summer Olympics.
