Roberto has managed Abu Dhabi club Sport Support Club for the first half of the 2021-22 season of the UAE Second Division League, but is being prevented from terminating his own contract and leaving the country by the club's chairman, Mahmoud Alkmash, who had attempted to hire him as a sales supervisor; despite Roberto not accepting to sign such a contract due to it not corresponding to his role in the club, Alkmash has been using it in order to keep the manager under his heel, only allowing him to break his contract provided he pays a release fee of approximately US$ 20,000, even though Roberto had not received any payment for his work.
