The board of directors met Tuesday and issued a statement saying Maradona and his technical staff had been immediately ''relieved'' of their duties. Maradona, who was on vacation and not in Dubai, could not be reached for comment.
A replacement for Maradona was not announced.
Maradona signed a two-year deal in May 2011. He was popular with fans and helped put United Arab Emirates soccer on the map. However, his team finished eighth in the 12-team league.
Maradona was expected to return for a second season. But he was left vulnerable when the Al Wasl board was replaced in June.
