Mods, please move this thread to the main forum. Ghotbi is also an Iranian abroad, no different than Karimi or Nekounam.

His team lost 6-2 in a friendly vs a second division team. They were up 2-1 before half. Afshin khan to nimeye morabiha toofan kardeh bood. He probably walked in there after the game and cussed the team out.

اولین تجربه حضور افشین قطبی روی نیمکت تیم شیمیزو اس پالس با شکست سنگین تیمش مواجه شد . روز گذشته در دیداری دوستانه به مصاف تیم دسته دومی توکیو رفت که این دیدار را با نتیجه 6بر 2 به تیم توکیو واگذار کرد . این درحالی است که قطبی به ژاپنی ها وعده داده بود که این تیم شهر شیزوکا را مانند توت فرنگی های این شهر در جهان معروف خواهد کرد

and yet he promised to win the J-League

but honestly on a positive note, this shows how good TM was under the crappiest coach in history to coach them to at least win their group with 9pts.

wowww do u really think that means anything? he is a very proud iranian incase you have never realized, and im not really a fan of his but anybody who knows him knows that he loves iran

Sorry but both of you don't make much sense.

a) It's given that he is Iranian, so I don't think mentioning Iran is a requirement when being presented

b) Agha Ghermez how did you exactly come to the conclusion that he is a very proud Iranian?

c) He attended Ahmadinejad's inauguration and if you argue that they forced him, I'm sure trying to explain his "disappointment in TM players" for wearing the green armbands will be enough ... (you might argue that they forced him to do that too I guess, after all it's Iran, but then again agreeing to doing this? I dunno.)

Poor japanies they may fire him sooner than you think.

[Shahin K]

Lol this is too much indeed, but it was his first game and a friendly. Lets wait and see.

[TM4LIFE]

An ordinary loss would be fine but this is too much. to be honest for me this is bad news, i was hoping he would get results as a coach for another team.. especially with all the hype of his arrival. Maybe he got confused with the Japanese names and put in their D team on accident

[Ghermez Agha]

but when he was introducing himself to the japanese he said he feels like
home because the mountains there reminds him of california
i don't think he ever mentioned iran

wow how do u go down 5 goals in 2nd half to a 2nd division team?? just wow


but im not gonna bash ghotbi, he didnt screw us over completely, he just had a wrong game plan against korea....lets not be too harsh on the guy

Ask NFL or Hamidr316, they will give you a valid reason of how this happened. I think they will say something like " Ghotbi wasn't the problem, the problem is Shimzu S-Pulses football infrastructure and the players have been taught wrong at grassroot level".

Ghotbi is the Emperator and doesn't recieve 5 goals in 1 half from a 2nd division J-League team. The problem is elsewhere.
