[Poll] Ghalenoei: Fire or Rehire

[Golefarsi]

Has IFF renewed GN contract until 2026?

[Damavand]

Has IFF renewed GN contract until 2026?

Yes it seems so. Based on the fact that he defeated Japan and reached the semifinal.

Herve Renard. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…. HERVE RENARD. He will put structure, discipline, and fire in our players. Also he favors young players. Look how he built up Saudi and led them to a win vs WC winners Argentina. Saudis were playing attractive football but in the end lacked the quality to make it out. We don’t lack quality. We lack mentality. A coach like Renard could fix that problem for us. BABA GHALENOI IS GARBAGE. Just look at his subs towards the end of the match and overall throughout this tournament. He has no real tactic and structure. He subs in two narekhar garbage ass players and takes out one of our only players capable of playing in a cross at the same time (Rezaian) absolute moron dude. We needed technical players like Ghaedi and Gholi to come in and really pressure the Qataris on the ground. Switch up your game plan but if you have no plan at all there is no switching…. With GN we are doomed and will struggle through WCQ… mark my words. And yes I’m aware there will be 8 Asian teams going but the way we struggled vs Hong Kong, Syria, and pretty much any other team that had a semi decent coach showed that GN is a walking bag of trash. Our players grit and shear will power got them through Japan not GN..

Dont' be fooled by their win against Argentina. Their performances versus Mexico and Poland were shockingly bad.

Morais is head and shoulders above GN. GN mage asabi nist?

Morais is a foreign coach who can tolerate Iran too, which is probably the most important factor.

GN's teams don't get 2-3 red cards in a single game.
Morais was yelling about leaving the team until his wife told him to sit down and be quiet.

Vs Mexico yes they did bad, but vs Poland they absolutely dominated but failed to put them away due to the lack of quality while the Poles had quality players who need one chance to get a goal ex Lewa…. Go look at the highlights and stats again.

But for justified reasons. The management screwed up and they wanted to heavily penalize Sepahan during the season for things outside of his control. I doubt Morais would tell Saeed to say an Arab referee would be biased against them in a pre-match press conference.

TM got 2 red cards during the tournament. Should have had a third with Beiros handball. Shoja also should have got one for kicking Afif's head on the ground. That's 4 in 7 games.

If in this moment Iran play against Sepahan maybe Sepahan Win, Morais is very good coach and sepahan is playing very atracctive football.

[Ali Doust]

Funny how they said GN didn't have enough time to build his squad meanwhile Qatar hires a new manager before the tournament and he takes them to the finals.

They just went back to playing how they did before CQ. It was the same players. Not a big stretch.

[Rooyintan]

Ghalenoei as a coach has a good record. You can see list of all matches he coached Team Melli.

The thread title should rather be fire or retire.

[Artaxerxes]

If we cant get for example Herve Renard pronto then i say keep GN to WC 2026, he now has no excuses to not fill in more youth in the team and fix our problems whit 2.5 years to the showdown.

It seems IFF confirmed GN until 2026

[perspolis#1]

Forward to IFF:


Goals for 2026 World cup cycle:

1) Direct Qualification to World Cup via top 2 teams per group

2) Squad turnover to bring down average age.

3) New wingbacks must be established. CB, GK and CM pool must must be broadened.

4) World cup performance goal--> R16.
This means qualifying out of group and beating a team in R32.

5) Once yearly camp at minimum for TM B players as well as a friendly match to test them for potential TM appearances in A team.
