Team Melli future coach

[yashar_fasihnia]

i dont agree on any of the above options.
and if GN is chosen, his absence in such a crucial time will lead esteghlal to
a disaster as well.
but under GN, i can atleast hope that TM will be fit and can fight for 90 minutes and be sure we have a group of specialists included in the team.

i did rather see parvin or hejazi instead of mayelli kohan.
they are both disciplined like mayelli kohan but they are also very popular and can be used to bring the fans back to the stadium and keep the atmosphere calm, atleast for a short period of time....

i dont even know why yavari is chosen...
why not nader dastafshan who took pegah gilan to finals of hazfi last year for example?
records show he has been doing quite well with mediocre teams.
mazloumi too has been doing quite alright with average teams both last season and this season!

as for ghotbi, frankly, i dont expect us to improve our football. i just see lots of fans restoring their support to the team, a somewat more peaceful atmosphere (temporarily until they start getting on his ass as well) and some psychological uplifting in the team.

if we wanna go for iranian, i think jalali or mazloumi are better options.

I think we let Rutemoller remain as TM coach. I realize that this isnt an option presented by kaf or IFF. But perhaps they will wake up and realize that a vatani coach is not the answer right now. If anything you have a vatani coach work under rutemoller and let him learn.

Ghotbi would be the next best choice... but i dont think that he wants to return to Iran, and i honestly dont know if IFF would hire him after everythings thats happened in the past year.

I really hope IFF wakes up and lets rutemoller run this team (not interim). There is no one remotely qualified as him in Iran.

I don't see any sense in an interim solution. Then we need a new TM coach for WC (in case we make it, since this would be the only sense for hiring a caretaker) who's first competitive game would be a WC game.

Also I see no sense in firing someone getting us to WC.

MK is a dinosaur even for Iranian standards. He also is a Hezbollahi for Iranian standards. He never won a title. He dismissed players from the U23 squad ahead of a crucial Olympic qualifer (one of the was Amir-Hossein Sadeghi if I recall correctly) for playing cards on a holiday.

MK was fired himself for an unsuccessful WC campaign 12 years ago and hasn't done anything magnificent since then.

This man will be eaten alive by any non-Iranian coach. What the hell is wrong with IFF?

I also don't know what you believe to see in MK.

[Doctor DOOM]

you're spot on that kaf has really "kaf"-ed ( kaf kardeh ) now and he's scrambling to save his worthless arse.

but in choosing the coach, I dont know whether they're looking for immediate-short term , or they want to keep the fellow till the WC ( shd we qualify ).

coz if it is an immediate-short term, then the requisites and criteria for selection is VERY DIFFERENT from the other choice.

right now, discipline, psychological mastery, ability to boost morale, .... is far more important than any technical know-how.

as for the second option, well, I dont think any of the mentioned names are fit to lead us to & in the WC .
so that's one road to hell !

[Martin-Reza]

Current candidates are Mayeli Kohan, Ghalenoei, Ghotbi and Yavari as it seems.

Ghotbi is the only somewhat acceptable solution.

But that these people are considered shows IFF didn't make a calm decision. Kafashian is scared like hell and only wants to save his own ass by doing "something".

If you have no good alternative (or don't want or cannot spend money to get one), then don't fire the coach.

Where shall our football go when we try to get back former failed coaches.

Plainly idiotic, sorry.
