Team melli next head coach candidates

[Scooter]

And why not Queiroz--if he's willing to continue? Who is better? Recently, Ebrahim Ghasempour made some il-advised and baffling comments about him, characterizing Queiroz as a coach who had been a failure with Egypt and Colombia and had therefore accepted to coach Iran because he had no other alternative or because Iran couldn't afford to hire a better coach . Let's make something clear: Carlos Queiroz has been a winner as a head coach throughout his career, having been the manager of Portugal, Iran, Colombia, South Africa, and Egypt national teams, in addition to countless other domestic clubs around the world. Surely he's had some setbacks throughout his long career, but with every team he's also enjoyed moderate to outstanding success. He essentially changed the football culture within Iran, being constantly in search of new talent and teaching his players to embrace a system, a structure tailored to decent offense predicated on great defense. The comment about his being a failure with Colombia and Egypt is especially irksome, as Queiroz reached the final of African Cup with Egypt and lost on penalties as a result of the opposite team's fans' unfortunate gamesmanship. Is that what we consider failure? And what about Colombia? There, he was hamstrung by some major injuries and the players ultimately turned out to be too obstinate. Let's not forget that Colombia failed to qualify with his replacement as well. It was just not the right team for him.

As for Queiroz not reaching the knockout stage, do you really blame him? He only had two months with the team and then was completely blindsided and overwhelmed by sudden political upheaval in the country, an event that had paralyzed the team and weakened morale amongst the players and coaching staff. No coach would have been able to do better under those circumstances, even though he managed to eke out a win against Wales, a team with emotional stability and far superior financial resources and overall preparation. And despite the team's dire situation, Iran under Queiroz even came close to drawing with the U.S., arguably one of the best teams in the tournament. I strongly believe that, had the players been in a better mental and emotional state, the ultimate goal of reaching the second round would have been achieved this time.

Let's face the facts: At this stage, the federation is broke, and no Iranian coach is ready to take the helm, to accept relentless layers of criticism following a potentially difficult journey. As for foreign coaches, the real good ones are hard to get, and even if they finally commit to a sojourn in Iran, they'll have a rough time acclimating to the current society and learning about the football culture, the domestic league and current national team players. Queiroz is already past that stage. He also has the respect of the players and possesses the know-how to lead Iran to the next World Cup. He's, for now, the best candidate.

You wrote so eloquently what I think, too. The criticisms about him in his time at Egypt are especially stupid; the CAF is probably the second toughest region in the world from which to qualify. He lost in the finals in the ACN and for WCF, in PKs to Senegal. Wth are people thinking, calling that "failure"? Please..

Kateb jaan, give me some hope - what's the situation right now at the FFIRI headquarters?

Can we sleep rest assured that the next person will also be heavily involved in making the team younger and fostering a new generation?

[Keshwardoost]

If not Bento, I nominate this guy for Asia Cup

[Abtin]

let's see who's willing to take the job, with the current reputation of IR in the world.

He played the same tactics twice. Any decent coach knows when first go doesn't work you need to change the style the second time. It was not a surprise who he played...losing to Senegal 2x was pathetic...because he made no real tactical changes and hoped that Senegal would buckle to the park the bus strategy. It failed misreably.

Cq wronged Egypt so badly it wasn't even funny. He was predictable and that is his downfall.

Lol there is no way you typed this with a straight face…..the most ridiculous of all ridiculous CQ criticisms is the myth that he “failed” in Egypt. In no world should a team with Egypts talent level should be expected to beat Senegal who has some of the best players in the world in their respective positions.

Lol if you believe that then why have a team compete? I'm not saying he should win...I'm saying he could have tried a different tactic rather than doing the same thing twice and expecting different results...you know what Einstein called insanity.

Thank God CQ is gone now. Tarnished rep and a failure internationally. Handed Iran its worst ever defeat in WC and Colombia worst defeat in 40 years. Make fun of Cuper all you want but I see very little difference between the two. Cuper rides his Valencia record and CQ his time as assistant in Manchester.

CQ loves the people of Iran, and not having him part of the IR’s National Football team is an acknowledgment of his understanding of what is happening in Iran. Best of luck to him. I’d rather wait to have a good international coach come in and coach the Iran National Team and not the IR Iran National Team. #MahsaAmini #ZanZendegiAzadi #WomenLifeFreedom

The way head coach is picked
in the next meeting the head of f.a will give a name to chairman's, and they will vote.
currently rumor is Renard being negotiated with he is #1choice, and if failed Pablo bonito ex pourtgual and s.k coach is favorite to land the job.

Regarding sleeping ,
For now sleep 6 hours only
until a coach is hired
