I hear these accusations daily, also from respected members.
I don't exactly see where this is coming from.
He was suprisingly announced TM coach as young coach, but there weren't any major alternatives and he has huge experience as player, in German Bundesliga as well as in the national team, and had an amazing start to his coaching career at Saipa.
So in the rather desperate situation we were and IFF's inability to get a European coach, I think it wasn't an unlogical decision to hire him instead of the usual internationally absolutely inexperienced Iranian coaches.
Similar decisions have been made all over the world. In Germany, Netherlands and I would even count Argentine in.
The only difference to that cases being that the time period between the end of the playing career and the time of appointment was the shortest in Daei's case whereas, however, none of the others had achieved a success like Daei on club level before or even had coaching experience at all.
So I see no Mafia-reasoning necessary for his appointment at all.
Apart from that, what is there to believe Daei is part of the football Mafia?
His sacking in a situation in which it didn't have to happen, although undoubtedly acceptable, doesn't quite support this claim either.
So let me know if I missed out on something, or if this is just another issue of turning specualtions into facts because of disagreement with decisions?
