Top Coaches Available - Right now

[Siavash]

Obviously not easy to replace CQ. I personally believe Esteghlal coach (Shafer I believe) is a good choice since he has WC experience and already familiar with up and downs our football. I have a feeling that IFF will consider him.

[Sarbaze-Vatan]

Moyes and Laudrup are very good. Other two not.

Which one do you prefer now Paul Le Guen or Michael Laudrup?

[Bandar Hamal]

The most important attribute for the next coach is bravery to push the IFF / Sports Ministry to make improvements.

yes, and after getting shutout by CQ, the IFF mafia will make sure the next head coach is nothing but an escort service.

Laudrup.

[The]

Zola.

Someone of his level is realistic target.

[Foolad Khuzestan]

Look at what happend today in Foolad-PP game, and we still dream about a top coach ? Wow at iran wowww

[Sly]

Have a feeling Taj will appoint a top coach! He's already proved to be the best post-revolution IFF boss we've had. but if he can really bring a relatively big coach to Iran, he'll seal it!

Why would it be more difficult to hire a good coach now than in 2011 when you hired a coach of the caliber of CQ?

in 2011:

- we were fking disappointing in WC06, missed the last WC (2010) and were eliminated in QF of last asian cup. Now we participated to 2 WC back to back (2014 &2018) where we showed our quality in front of the world. We just eliminated in semi final of last asian cup.
- we had almost no legionnaire. Now we have much more legionnaire in Europe, and our U17 were quarter finalist of the last WC.
- I don't remember any friendlies in 2011 except crap like Kuwait and such. Recently we played against Turkey, Russia, Venezuela (x2), Tunisia, Algeria, Montenegro, Bolivia.
- AN was president, now we have Rouhani (which is better seen by the world than AN).
- we were under sanctions of the whole world : US, UE, UN. Now we are under US sanctions.

I reckon US imposing Visa for those that visited Iran can be a strong setback. But it seems a high profile like CQ could manage it.

Could not have said it better my self. We are at the same level as we were back in 2011 except that the economy has gone backwards even more and i think its much more difficult now to transfer money abroad. All in all it should be same difficult/easy to attract a good coach as it was in 2011. If they could do it back then why cant they do it now… Its all up to the people in charge

Also I forgot to add :

- all the negative coverage of iran for AN & the nuclear BS for years (between 2005 and 2012). Comparing to some postive coverage about the country around the nuclear deal
- taj is also doing a decent work compared to before

[Piroozi]

I rather have someone like Herve Renard who will work hard than some big name who will give up after 6 months.

I do have some faith in Taj, he said he will be getting a good foreign coach, I believe he will keep his word. No Mayeli Gohan or 2007-2011 fiasco.

Herve Renard has contract with Morocco until 2022. Although he is a good head coach but IMO we should get a coach with stronger resume. How about Paul Le Guen and Michael Laudrup? Will you be satisfied with either of them or not?
