Team melli next head coach candidates

[orbicular]

Thank God. What a disaster that would have been.

And why not Queiroz--if he's willing to continue? Who is better? Recently, Ebrahim Ghasempour made some il-advised and baffling comments about him, characterizing Queiroz as a coach who had been a failure with Egypt and Colombia and had therefore accepted to coach Iran because he had no other alternative or because Iran couldn't afford to hire a better coach . Let's make something clear: Carlos Queiroz has been a winner as a head coach throughout his career, having been the manager of Portugal, Iran, Colombia, South Africa, and Egypt national teams, in addition to countless other domestic clubs around the world. Surely he's had some setbacks throughout his long career, but with every team he's also enjoyed moderate to outstanding success. He essentially changed the football culture within Iran, being constantly in search of new talent and teaching his players to embrace a system, a structure tailored to decent offense predicated on great defense. The comment about his being a failure with Colombia and Egypt is especially irksome, as Queiroz reached the final of African Cup with Egypt and lost on penalties as a result of the opposite team's fans' unfortunate gamesmanship. Is that what we consider failure? And what about Colombia? There, he was hamstrung by some major injuries and the players ultimately turned out to be too obstinate. Let's not forget that Colombia failed to qualify with his replacement as well. It was just not the right team for him.

As for Queiroz not reaching the knockout stage, do you really blame him? He only had two months with the team and then was completely blindsided and overwhelmed by sudden political upheaval in the country, an event that had paralyzed the team and weakened morale amongst the players and coaching staff. No coach would have been able to do better under those circumstances, even though he managed to eke out a win against Wales, a team with emotional stability and far superior financial resources and overall preparation. And despite the team's dire situation, Iran under Queiroz even came close to drawing with the U.S., arguably one of the best teams in the tournament. I strongly believe that, had the players been in a better mental and emotional state, the ultimate goal of reaching the second round would have been achieved this time.

Let's face the facts: At this stage, the federation is broke, and no Iranian coach is ready to take the helm, to accept relentless layers of criticism following a potentially difficult journey. As for foreign coaches, the real good ones are hard to get, and even if they finally commit to a sojourn in Iran, they'll have a rough time acclimating to the current society and learning about the football culture, the domestic league and current national team players. Queiroz is already past that stage. He also has the respect of the players and possesses the know-how to lead Iran to the next World Cup. He's, for now, the best candidate.

Taj denies reports linking Iran to Hector Cuper

• Sports

January 29, 2023 - 18:30


TEHRAN – Head of Islamic Republic of Iran Football Federation (IRIFF) Mehdi Taj denied reports that the federation is going to hire Hector Cuper as Team Melli coach.
The local media reported that Iran football federation has negotiated with the 67-year-old coach. Cuper was sacked by DR Congo after a poor start to 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying in June 2022. The coach has had spells in charge of Valencia, Inter Milan and Egypt. “I’ve recently seen the rumors on the social media but the federation has not negotiated with the coach,” Taj said. Iran were headed by Carlos Queiroz in the 2022 FIFA World Cup but the federation didn’t renew the Portuguese coach’s contract. Under leadership of Queiroz, Team Melli suffered two defeats against England and the U.S. and earned a win over Wales and failed to book a place in the knockout stage. Taj also said the head coach of Iran U23 football team will be named as soon as possible.

Isn't Renard still with the Saudis?
We all know no one can compete with Saudis when it comes to financial terms either.

Paulo Bento you mean. I really hope you're right and we have a good chance at Hervé Renard.

Hervé would be a dream manager for us.

Both would be great. Bento is the obvious officially free agent pick. Does IFF and the fans have patiense to give them wc if they fail at Asia Cup? Both are long term builders.
