Ah I hadn't watched that video. Luka Bonacic had the same impression. He left Al-Nasr and came back to Iran.

i dont think people can generalize about these things to be honest. yeah sure we have close minded people in the arab world ( they do exist) but i'm sure there are open -minded people too, the same way there are bad arabs and very nice arabs who will do anything to show a lot of hospitality to other people. sure Iranians are nice people and i build this opinion from encountering Iranians when i'm in Mecca where usually when i go they r the biggest population.
i've been to two different arab nations other than my home country and i can tell u that u cant generalize and say all arabs are bad and less nice bec they r sunni or all arab's are genuinely nice people bec they r sunni. in every group/race/religion etc there is good and bad its how life works. in croatia i'm sure there are nice people like your self and Valtko for instance and bad indivuals. thats how it works. im sure not every one in iran is as nice as hoori either.
they prefer iran to the arab world thats there right but not bec people in the arab world are evil or nasty or bec the smell is wierd.

Everyone is supposed to be fasting in Iran. Swimming pools, restaurants and coffee-shops are all closed before iftar and league games are played after iftar even though most of players don't fast. Zlatko Kranjcar while being Persepolis coach was asked why he didn't play Hawar Mulla Mohammed (Persepolis Iraqi player) and he said because he was fasting all day long, indirectly claiming that none of Iranian players in the team was fasting 
And you know what, they fined Kranjcar
And you know what, they fined Kranjcar
Forza Hawar. The only non Shiite Iraqi playing in Iran.
If they do good jobs, maybe people will be more welcoming. I don't think people here are very fond of Eastern Europeans, the general impression is that all that region has had to offer this part of the world is hookers and prostitutes 
In all fairness, coaches here don't get much of a chance, if you don't succeed in the first few months, clubs here will sack you and find a replacement immediately. Money is never a problem for clubs. A coach needs time to work, they don't get that time over here.
I don't imagine a Westerner will exactly enjoy life here in Sharjah. But it serves him right for coming to a place he probably knew beforehand what it was like, but he still came for the money. So i think you're right that they simply couldn't stand life over here. But i don't understand, what do you mean by the air?
Only 1 or 2 of the Croatian coaches worked in UAE. I'm talking Arab world in general where with the exception of Dragan Talajic and Rodion Gacanin (Who is now called Hamid by the Arabs 
) all the others left after less than a season. And most of those actually had a good career before and after that (Ilija Loncarevic, Ivic, Kranjcar, Begovic, Bonacic, Juricic, Mirko Jozic, Tucak, Mato Stankovic, Peruzovic, Matosic, Radojcic, Katalinic, Buljan etc).
I don't know what they mean by "the air". In that video I posted above Kranjcar said that "there was something in the air" that he couldn't stand in UAE.

As for them having a better career, i don't find that surprising, like i said, this regions clubs aren't clubs where a manager can show his worth. You get little time, and clubs mentalities here are shit, they change coaches 4-5 times a year. Unless you're a really top class coach ala Gerets, Metsu, Cosmin etc, you probably won't stay at a club for long.
As for him not liking the air here, well i don't know much about that.
Libya?Oh i can seriously understand why he'd hate life in Libya
But i doubt he'd say the people were unfriendly there. For all my country's negatives, perhaps the one positive we have is how hospitable and nice Libyans generally are.
I've met a few Westerners who work/worked in Libya, and they tell me straight up, that it was one of the hardest times in their life(no alchohol, no pubs, no night clubs, nothing), but people were nice, so it made things a little easier.
But Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, countries like these, i think Westerners won;'t have a problem living/working there.
