THE BEST COACH OPTION FOR IRAN NATIONAL TEAM

[KC McElroy]

Faraki is the next coach people just wait and see

Agha you made the same kind of proclamations with inside sources about a pre-World Cup tournament in the US featuring Iran. We waited but saw nothing.

Why would you be wrong? Your inside source has already confirmed that Faraki will be the coach by Monday.

Kranjcar is the only foreign coach after CQ who knows the current players well to choose from. any other foreign coach coming on board will have a hard time to get to know who is who. Time is short. So. Kranjcar remains as the best choice. If anyone supports Faraki then he should be happy to see Faraki to coach sepahan after Kranjcar takes over TM. If sepahan continues to to well and finishes at top then then you can say Faraki may have been also a good choice. But for now, Only Kranjcar

As soon as magath leave fulham, we should go after him.

If not an Iranian, I would look to South America for a coach. Tired of Europeans producing one point for TM.

Agreed. I really feel our best football in recent memory was when Valder Viera was our coach. We need a SA influence on our game.

So nationality automatically means a coach will be better? What a logic..we need to stop this obsession with South American coaches.

Wow the amateur coaches in the poll actually got votes!? My fellow Iranians never seize to amaze me, no wonder IR is in power and Rohani and co get actual support.
I would like to see another proffesional coach and staff work for TM, someone at Carlos Queiroz's level at least. European coaches tend to be the best, i'd say from Italy or Spain or Germany, i would disregard Eastern European coaches ala Branko Ivankovic, who are not much better, or better said worse than our domestic coaches. Unfortunately i don't see another coach like Carlos Queiroz who actually had love and passion for our country (much more than most Iranians), and stood up against the corrupt bullies in the form of the Islamic football federation in Iran. So what i'm trying to say is things are not looking well, as usual.

LOL obsession? Besides Viera and Braga for a combined 6 entire games, who have we had in the last 20 years who was South American? It's not nationality we care about, it's more style. Attack football vs. Defensive Minded...btw Braga (Brazilian) had a 3-0 record for Iran but was replaced in favour of Miroslav Blazevic...that in my opinion is more of European obsession than anything else.

My point is that I see few members screaming for South-American coaches just because they play offensive football. Which doesn't necessarily means it will be suited for Team Melli, and its not even realistic. Would we be playing all-offensive in the World Cup, we would have experienced three huge losses. The Bosnia game was one prime example, we opened up a LITTLE BIT and we got scored on three times by already eliminated Bosnia.

My opinion might be unpopular but judging from the past 4 years under CQ I think TM has more to offer defensively than offensively. With all due respect, most of our strikers are not prolific goal scorers for their club and TM.

I don't see any foreign coach coming to Iran either, CQ was one in a million. First he also rejected but they offered him a huge amount of money and he took it. If he knew what misery IFF would put him through he would never take the Iran job.

[Keano]

This poll and many other similar polls prove how a big majority of Iranians have little faith and trust in their domestic coaches. Rightfully so!

[MR.ESTESNAII]

No iranian coach!!!!!

Sepahan would never hire Faraki. The only Iranian coach that Sepahan would go for is Ebrahimzadeh.
