The terms of Wilmots' contract were released during and right before his signing back in late May 2019. His annual salary is approximately 1.2-1.3 Million Euros and I believe his assistants receive a total of 200,000-300,000 Euros/year making the total contract 1.5-1.6 Million Euros/year. Any other figures reported are probably rumors.
Agha, I think you are dreaming of a fantasy world where Iran is not in the sh*t it is now, politically. That may be the mirage or the illusion which is leading to your expectations.
This guy inherited a really bad team, I don't know if you remember what the shape our team was in 2012....
And he made the players get in sync with each other and play with a unity that we had never seen, we always relied on bezan ziresh and deimi football in the past. More than anything he gave the players belief and he gave us belief. I've been to all the world cups over the last 20+ years and the pundits and other fans I met were amazed with how well-drilled Iran was.
Now we don't have the same amount of talent as other nations (compare our midfield with Japan's over the last 12 years!) , but the guy gave us consistent results and qualified us to two world cups. But more than anything he gave us huge amount of intangible things - sowing crop in rather poisoned soil to promote our younger players into the national team where others were criticising his decisions (remember Beiranvand, Majid Hosseini, even the confidence he had in Taremi when others were putting him down etc...)? He opened the iranian diaspora to TM so we got players like Dejagha, Gucci and Ghoddos. He made a team where the players bonded with each other and played for each other on the pitch, not selfishly.
Whereas previous coaches weren't thinking about the future, he was. All these latter changes he made may not make a difference immediately, but they will 5-10-20 years down the line. Kids watching TV will see what it's like when all 10 outfield players are running and hustling, not walking with their heads down like in previous generations. In the context of the current situation in Iran, this is a minor miracle.
We are all disappointed that he didn't win more trophies, but I do think you need to adjust your expectations. We are dealing with a national team in 40 years of IR, not Japan or Korea.
I guess ill feed the troll.
Being that it is the best outcome that any TM coach has accomplished to date, I dont see why he shouldnt be commended...? Who do you think did a better job? Brangoh?
A manager can only do so much, and given the funding, materials, players, etc that CQ was given, he did a great job.
Wilmots has no passion. He's just here to get a paycheck. What a garbage signing by the federation.
This guy brings a bodyguard with him whenever he's in Iran. Iran has one of the lowest gun or hate crimes in the world and this idiots has such a negative perspective of our country.
I say keep him for the Iraq game and send him off regardless.
And where is ezzatollahi ? If it was cq he would envite him to help him get In shape.
