The Team Melli Coaching Search Begins ...

[perspolis#1]

You have to have the technical and physical skills and endurance to play total football.

Yes you do. Thats not our problem at TM level though. Its at the club/ youth level. If we had players that were able to stay organized against Argentina, Spain, Portugal and run toe to toe with Morocco and Nigeria i would say its not our technical/physical ability that is lacking..but our tactical knowledgr within our own player pool.

We didn't play an open and offensive game against any of those teams. We went "toe to toe" because we conserved energy and picked our spots to punch back. We played solid defensively, conserved energy, grew into the game, and hit on the counter. If this team tried to play an open game against any of those teams, we'd likely lose.

Bert van Marwijk is a good one my friends in The Netherlands telling it is all in the news. We must wait and see if he wants to life in Iran.

I trust foreign press more than IRI press so it might strongly be true ! Not a bad selection indeed !

yes. Saudis are going nuts. They love this guy who qualified them to rusiia 2018.

[Ghermez Agha]

BVM would be amazing his teams always play exciting and get good results, has a great winning record. Saudi was becoming a laughing stock in Asia and he pulled them out of their darkest time in their football history and made them a respectable team in Asia again.....definitely the caliber we need unlike Renard. The only downside to this is we know how much he wants to spend most of his time out of Iran based on his recent negotiations with other teams

[Nokhodi]

Saudi qualified for WC 2018 because they got 3 penalties in their first 2 games versus Thailand and Iraq all after the 80th minute. They went from getting perhaps 1 point to 6. They bought refs and were a terrible team even with BvM.
Just because they do 200 horizontal passes between the fullback and halfback doesn't mean they're good.

BvM is not what TM needs.

[eerooni]

Any A rated coach we get after what CQ has done for our football ( infrastructure, team development, gathering Iranian born foreign based palyers) can do magic with TM!!! and I believe IFF knows this!...

[Foolad Khuzestan]

I really really hope its nor Bernd Van Marwijk

[shahabGAOL]

Bert is not bad alk dutch have done great job. Guus Hiddink with South Korea 2002! Semi Finale World Cup! We better can invite Guus Hiddink and the some program like South Korea 2002 he did must do with Iran in 3 years before World Cup. I saw the movie in South Korea prepare them for World Cup with Guus Hiddink.

World Cup 2022 Qatar is like we playing at home

[PSGman#19]

I hope Van Marwijk will coach TM but it seems too good to be true : IFF hiring someone so quickly after CQ departure?! And ONE saudi journalist having informations about IFF plans??
