TM-News- Vol. 2

I don't get why people are saying his is a world record (taking three different teams to four World Cups). What about Bora Milutinovic?

Queiroz didn't merely take teams to four different World Cups - he qualified his teams for four different World Cups. Milutinovic has taken five different teams to World Cups, but four of those teams had already qualified for the World Cup before he took over - 1994 USA and 1986 Mexico (as host nations), and 1990 Costa Rica and 1998 Nigeria (Bora took over these teams after they already qualified.) Milutinovic only took China through the qualification process for the 2002 World Cup.

You sure about that? According to Wikipedia, he started coaching four of those teams (all except Costa Rica) way ahead of the pertinent WC.

He coached USA and Mexico in 1986 and 1994 but they were host nations so there was no qualification period. Armen is correct. The only team that Bora actually took over prior to the world cup and helped them qualified was china in 2002 and we all remember what an easy group china had at that time.

Carlos Parreira qualified with Kuwait (1982), Brazil (1994), Brazil (2006). He also managed UAE and Saudi Arabia in 1990 and 1998 world cups but he took over them once they were already qualified.

Thanks, bro. This makes perfect sense.

They terminated his contract after his fiasco against Qatar

[Nokhodi]

They terminated his contract after his fiasco against Qatar

1 - He wasn't fired.
2 - He never had a contract
3 - CQ didn't want the Iranian assistants anymore, except for the medical staff and translator.

[greenguy4life]

How accurate is this list? Is Afshin Peyrovani still the Executive Director? I know there was Portuguese staff added recently.
