If you could pick one coach for team melli...

[Darvish11]

money is not an issue, contractual obligation is not an issue, if you could pick any coach in the world to coach team melli, who would it be and why? Will he be iranian? European? S. American?

I would really love either a dutch coach or a south american coach. South american because their style of play matches the iranian style. Dutch because they are simply the best imo. Not too long ago i believe they were the second best team in the world. Look at the powerhouses of soccer: Italy, argentina, england, brazil, france, germany, all really big countries. Holland is right up there with all of them. why? good coaching.


i dont know the names of too many coaches, just the big name ones, but the one i like is klinnsman. He doest fit the profile of the coach i described in the previous paragraph, but i like him nevertheless.

your thoughts

[yashar_fasihnia]

i would go for ottmar hitzfeld, the master tactician.

[pajamNL]

i would go for Co Adriaanse+Louis van Gaal

[mf_doom]

im probably am going to receive alot of "What the hell are u thinking comments" but im going to go with Jose Pekerman.

1) he is aaaaaaamazing with young players. He knows how to mold them into not only good players but great athletes as well (something TM needs desperatly)
2)He has great organizational skills. Knows how to set up a team and work on its weaknesses.

Yes he screwd up big in the germnay game but seriously all great coaches screw up too.

i would pick the current coach of russia...the dutch guy who coached korea in 2002 and australlia in 2006..excellent coach he is.

if money wasnt a prblem
SCOLARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KasraKhan]

This is hard question but I say Milan Macala

[Martin-Reza]

Scolari. I think South American coaches understand our football philosophy better, but Scolari has a big name and focusses on tactical discipline as well!

[TM-Fan]

In reality we cannot hire a world class coach cus of the reasons that we all know. If I were the head of the IFF, I would get rid of Ghalenoei and pick a young europian or south american coach who has a couple of years of experience coaching in a good europian league.

My vote will be for Reynos Michelle. Big name coaches like Scolari will come to Iran and as soon as he sees the shir to shir atmospher he will leave. Plus there is a cultural factor that the coach of TM needs to be familiar and respect about the country he is coaching in.

Remember the Boo Boo that the Brazilian coach who coached Iran against Austraila (in Melborne) I think his name was Viera made? He said thank god Iran tied and made it to the WC, people celebrate in the streets and won't go fighting and killing. This is the level of ignorance or atleast lack of diplomatic skills that guy had.

A country like Iran needs someone like Reynos Michelle who has coached in Africa and is familiar with the shir to shir situation in the country and Football Federation. Yet he is very knowledgable and doesn't have a condecending attitude toward third world countries (or at least tolerate the conditions).

Absolutely. I second that.

but It is not just the coach, but also the coaches authority. In Iran, every naneh-Ghamar
wants to have a say in TM. Good coaches, will not put up with that crap, so we have to
settle for less.

[186forever]

I wouldn t think for a sec for this
GUUS HIDDINK

The-Red
his name is Guus Hiddink
eventhough the bastard eliminated my Spain by luck, he still is the best and WILL NEVER FAIL on an international assignment and Australia didn t deserve that lucky ass penalty by Italy
