Queiroz to quit as Iran coach after World Cup

[The]

Lol, I think you didn't quite get me :P

Lol, my bad.

Just a bit on the edge from people calling me a moron for expressing my opinion.

This is like the 10th time CQ has put in his resignation. I am sure everyone is used to it at this point to where we don't expect him to leave unless there is another coach on the bench

^ That's what Im asking. Does he want to stay for another 4?
That's what I haven't heard him say or even indicate without words.
In fact the picture we got from him was that he will leave after the WC and IFF was desperate enough to beg him to stay at least till the AC

[naderb94]

I have had a hunch that IFF has been under the radar dressing up Schafer to be his successor after WC ..!?
CQ knows it or senses that too ..! Hence the recent remarks regarding Vouria position of play ..!?

Ps
Our football is nearly certain to regress after his departure ..! The severity of which is relavant to what clown is to replace him ?
An idiot domestic option will certainly signal a quick demise ..!

I like Schaffer for SS but he will be a disaster for TM.. CQ has managed Portugal and Real Madrid on his CV while Schaeffer managed Jamaica NT. You can't even compare the two.

Well he clearly has one more contract left in his soccer life, would you take a 6 months contract and be left out of a job in the middle of February when everyone's season has already started, or would you go for a safe 3-4 year contract to retire on your own terms?

Forget CQ, any sane coach wouldn't accept a 6 month extension.

[eerooni]

We need this guy for Asian CUP!!! We need another Asia Cup trophy and then he can go!

[DireStraits]

I dont understand.
He's miffed they offered him one more tournament, which just happens to be 6 months after the WC? Did he expect another 3-4 yrs of extension?
why is he angry/disappointed/…?

and what a time to do so!!!!
if this doesn't affect the team, even a little bit, then I dont now what does.
seeing him pick on the number of threads or number of holes on a jersey (for making sure everything is optimal & not allowing the smallest things to get in the way), then saying stuff like this from him less than a month before WC is just foolish and horrible


sometimes I really wonder what goes on in his head when he does stuff like this

Actually it worries me a lot. Maybe he does not to win his own country(Portugal). Maybe he is sick of Ali Karimi/Mayeli/Ghale noei ... issues. He has had too many. I actually felt
he wants to leave Iran after many of his interviews. He tells the world I am free. Take me. The way he suddenly changes our defense is risky too.

you make a good point on the timing of the termination with respect to CLUB season.
At the same time I think there are plenty of NATIONS who'd like to hire him even if mid club season.
So if this particular thing is behind his behavior, then he ought to rest easy. He wont be left without a job …. even for a month.

Otherwise, if he is indicating he's open to stay for another 4 yrs, then that's a different matter.
personally, if we play well (cant really expect advancing from this group), then I'd be ok if he stays for another edition.
But if we dont turn up … then I wouldnt mind seeing a new face at the hem

My response is he tells the world he waits for a good offer. Besides He is not stupid. There must be a reason Schaffer went to see Iran UZ game.

[St_Mark]

If he takes us to next round he should stay otherwise I think he should leave. I know he has done a lot but with that kind of money he gets you can get other good coach too.
Besides he is involved in many conflicts in Iran. For how long more should Rahmati forget TM.

Naturally CQ does what is best for him expecting longer term contract but this may not be best for IFF at this time and perhaps 6-month extension for now may be the best.
CQ did not have a good relation with Persepolis coach ( Branko ), Sepahan ( GN), Zobahan ( Namazi ) and now with Esteghlal Schafer. These are top four team in Iran.For Asian cup he has to rely on younger players but there is no TM B and U23 just got a new head coach(Zelatco) without assistant and most of U21 players has not been called. He will not have easy time for Asian cup under such circumstance.
Unless he wins over morocco and results versus Spain & Portugal are not very humiliating he has no future in Iran even with popularity among his fan.

Let’s hope Iran do well at WC and then decide what is best for future with or without CQ.
Should CQ leave he will have no trouble finding a good job but it won’t be part time like in Iran

[krol]

Hopefully our next manager will show some decency and keep comments like we are 50 years behind Spain and Portugal to him self.

Yes, hopefully our next manager will be a typical bullshitter who pretends that a system where building a stadium usually takes 30 years and when they do build it the government won't let it be used (!) is somehow on the same level as that of Europe. He should understand that he's dealing with people with some of the most assbackward concepts of "pride" and "respect", who think a friend is someone who tells them what they want to hear instead of the harsh reality.

[shahname]

CQ is one of the best things that have happend to Iranian football ever. So I certainly hope he stays until 2022 cause his work in Iran is not finished yet. And that is regardless of what happens during the WC2018 considering the incredibly difficult group we have got into.

[TM4LIFE]

As much as I respect the man, its pretty visible how tiring it is to be involved in Iranian football with the level of corruption and ineptitude that surrounds him. Even with the fat paycheck he receives, it is often best to leave such an environment for the sake of your own sanity. I'd love to see him stay until the Asian Cup but I fear that time has run its course.

[metallica69]

I don’t know why everyone thinks he is doing us a favor by coaching our team, out of the 32 coaches in the World Cup he is the 7th highest payed. He has a very good crop of players to chose from, the people treat he very well. Also he has gotten everything he has asked for. He is only in Iran a total of 3 to 4 months a year. So please don’t make it sound like it’s all one way, thanks to him and our players in Europe we will not have a hard time getting another foreign coach.

Only recently he got a big sponshership deal in Iran worth 2 million euros. I am not saying we shouldn’t appreciate what he has done, but clear he is putting the IfF in the spot as clear he wanted to resign after World Cup and rest and that was what the IFF were aware of. So they asked for an extention rather than 4 years without seeing how we perform. Part of his new contract is surely to take us to the second round. This his tactic, IFF are also very impressed with Schaefer and what he has done with ss in a short period.

In all cases bad timing by CQ.

Nope not even that! How many (respectable) clubs do you know that wouldn't have a coach by August or fire their current coach before the season has even started?

Now how much you wanna bet that not all coaches (of respectable clubs) will make it till the end of the season? You think those clubs will go after a coach that has just signed a contract with a 3rd tier club (if even that)..

CQ will be far better of to earn some good money till February, wait till some club fires their current coach and sign a good contract with them.
