Should CQ´s contract be renewed?

[Ali Doust]

i personally don't think CQ is going anywhere. He has the best situation in Iran. No where else in the world does he have so much love and respect. If anything he will bring down to Iran. If one thing history has taught us is when you go Persian their's no better version.

Mammad Mayeli for Team Melli coach!

Greece had 71 years old coach at WC 2010 I think.

what does age have to do with anything ?? lmao, pathetic argument. Most great NT coaches are/were old (top ones), tavares, del bosque, Hitzfield, Fatih Terim. And currently in Iran we are experiencing a global football rarity, one NT coach for many years, uninterrupted. This means players, coaching staff, etc are at ease with his systems and ideas, and are in a good position to carry out his visions. A new coach would need years to get his ideas across, given the nature of international football ( one gave every few months). And given we cant get a coach with even 1/10th of the cv of CQ, why even bother? Plus, if his age was even a factor, which it isnt, NT football is far less demanding than club football on coaches in terms of daily training, travel, etc.

If somebody can honestly provide a better option than CQ i will be damned

[masoud nekounam]

CQ should be rahbar.

[AllStarMomo]

He should stay until Asia Cup 2019!
Would be perfect for both sides!
CQ could win finally a CUP with Iran and Iran could win something after so many years!

Then he should go and be remembered as the Guy who changed a lot in our football

5 Now?!?! AY DADO BIDAD

[Adesor Vafaseya]

They should build the next tallest tower in Iran in the shape of a CQ Statue holding a big sign saying: "PP > SS"!

You are so right. A new coach would need at least 3-4 years to be able to implement his ideas and start making an impact. We actually saw the same thing with CQ. It was just around the time of the end of the last WC qualification round, especially the last 3 matches where Iran needed maximum points, where we started to se signs of change in the way Iran played. We saw a TM that was displaying a solid defence and dangerous counters that was the result of the work CQ had done with the team. It become more evident during AC2015 and since then we have seen the real team of CQ where the team has undergone a transitional period at the same time.

Antonio Conte won the EPL in his very first year with Chelsea and he did not even speak English half-fluently!

The poll asks if CQ should stay until 2022 (a full extra 4 years). There needs to be a third choice that says "It depends."

I think any coach in charge for 7 years should have collected some silverware but Iran has not won anything under CQ. My impression is that he ought to be a lot more diligent and enthusiastic about the job he's been doing.

Also the qualification in Asia is a joke by the international standards. Just consider that no team from Asia has ever finished in even a 3rd place in the history of the world cup.

All in all, I like the sort of assessment by "The" earlier in this thread. Keep CQ until AC 2019, IF there is a stellar performance in the World Cup.

However I think barring serious planning, we will see Team Melli leave the tournament after 270 minutes with just 1 point. Much in line with both the 2006 and 2014 outcomes. If you like to achieve a noble goal, then give it 1000% of your effort and dedication.

Iranian people have the potential to become a lot more than they have been in any aspect of life, including the sports. But unfortunately they have been shackled to the ground by forces that fit a 12th century society far better than a 21st century.

I totally agree with you about the fact that the Iranian people have a much bigger potential than what is being displayed because of the incompetence of the corrupted regime in charge. No doubt about it!

But using Conte´s example in Chelsea as a reference point is wrong in my opinion. There are always exceptions to the rule... We ought to have a more nuanced review of what CQ has achieved in Iran. Yes, he didn't succeed in bringing in silverware in AC2015 but that had in large to do with the fact that our team was victim of an obvious referring mistake. At that point, small mistakes can change the fortunes of any team and tip the balance of the game in the other direction cause all the teams are so close to each other in terms of strength. I am sure Iran would have been a finalist in AC2015 if all the wrongdoing didn't take place by the Australian referee in the quarterfinal.

I think this world cup is going to be a good opportunity to judge CQ´s work but we have to bear in mind that expecting Iran to advance from this group of death in order to give CQ the thumbs up is unreasonable. We must expect a nice showing from Iran in the first place and then if we somehow also manage to qualify for the next round, it would be the icing on the cake. I still believe that there is much more Iranian football can learn form CQ and I see him as the best chance we have to win the AC2019 and do well in the coming WC2018. On the other hand, if things work out and he stays another 4 years, I would say after 2022 would be a good time for TM to have another manager who is younger, well-educated, talented and hungry for success.

If Iran gets 3-4 points at the WC and still not make it out of the group I say let’s renew his contract till end of the AC of 2019
If he wins the AC championship then renew it for another 3.5 years , otherwise it’s time part ways.

If not Carlos then I can only see the following 3 people become our next coach:

1) Oceano da Cruz
2) Branko Ivankovic
3) Alex Nouri

Sorry but I do not want that guy even near TM again. He had his chance and he muffed it. Oceano da Cruz would be the ideal choice since he has been with CQ since almost the beginning.

Branko will extend his contract, unless something unpredictable happens.
