Branko Ivanković Appreciation Thread

[Babak agha]

Why don't we just have good (enough) Iranian coaches?!?!
I know the answer but still, sucks to knock on doors of such guys and with all respect it even sucks that someone like CQ is the best coach we've ever had or could get. How good CQ might've been it sucks to know that there are better coaches out there but that not even in our wildest dreams we could get even close to signing them.

Ah well, such is life.

Looks like it's happening people... Hints being dropped with multiple visits from iran's ambassador to croatia over the last week to speak to Branko. Sadegh is keen to bring him back to Iran.









"Thank you my friend Mr.Sadegh who I trust..who has authority and can help"

Judging by this post you have already gone.

Well whether you and CQ lovers like it or not he will be remembered for winning Iran's last continental trophy in Asia and qualifying us to a world cup, giving us our highest ranking in our history and our last best finish in the Asian cup. Unlike you who loves Cq's blue eyes real fans look at stats and could not care less for cq blue eyes who for me will be remembered as the guy who could not beat Iraq in official or friendly competition and for our worst finish in Asian cup history not to mention one of our worst defeats. You and me will die but stats will remain.

looolll it's so much better now that I read your comments as a joke rather than a serious discussion to respond to.. Thanks. Hopefully you will remain as well

Lol branko, even a guy such as Stimac coached Croatia and Branko didn't!!!
Branko is made for some Micky Mouse leagues such as IPL. Can't even handle a half ass league pressure such as Saudi!! Comparing him to Queiroz is like comparing man vs boy.
What is the biggest club and country he coached in his career? Looll

Thank you. Let us also not forget the glorious stat of earning 1 point in WC 2006 against mighty Angola.

Yes, let's not forget he accomplished the 1 point, with one of the most talented teams in Iran's history.

Brango for TM (the KSA TM)

Can we just forget about this guy? He is done, finished, finito. He was a weak national team coach, a non-inspiring figure in our football history, and a ball & chain around CQ's neck every time we had a national training camp. He deserves nothing but our collective amnesia about his tenure in Iran.

Oh his tenure in Iran is far from over!

Once a person proves compatible with this regime's system, they're never gone permanently. They just get recycled every few years. I will bet good money right now that when Calderon is gone or another high profile position opens up in the league, Branko will be among the first in line. I've already heard rumors about him taking over our U-23 for the Asian Cup in January.

He will work in Iran for at least one more cycle. I don't have a doubt in my mind.

well i suppose that was a forgone colclusion...!!
"It Was Written..!" lol

I am actually sad Haji Brango was fired. He could have stayed and undermined the KSA national coach and team.

Oh, well too bad. Hopefully he can find a job in Korea or Japan.

anyone can explain why he got fired? seems like too short of a time to fire him

He is a terrible coach.

[khodam]

He was a professor and now he is a Haji too. He just made perfect for Iranian soccer.
