Marc Wilmots to be named Team Melli’s manager: report

[sirvan]

lol. sure, copy that.
there's always some sort of an air of desperation with anyone who might be ready to work in Iran. I just wonder what was the reason for this 2 year hiatus.
I remember his playing days. He used to be a solid player in the old belgian team. But coaching can be very different from mere playing.

Air of desperation? Maybe that's just your own personal view, but i'm pretty sure he knows that TM has a lot of potential. Also, are you aware that he has coached the Belgian NT and Schalke 04 ao?

He has plenty of experience and looks like the right man for the job. Kudos to IFF for hiring him.

Hes in Tehran trying to figure out how IFF can transfer his $1.2 M salary to his account in Europe with the new tougher sanctions, other than this, hes all in to coach the team as he KNOWS he will get a LOT of exposure from world media and that in itself will enhance his profile, ESPECIALLY if he can get results with TM and get us to the WC and maybe to the 2nd round!

I now understand why IFF tried to pay CQ's salary through AFC. However, it causes a significant delay in payment and I don't blame CQ for his uproar. MW must be made aware of this and be okay with it, if he is to take the job. It would be a huge waste of everyone's time/energy to have him sign, only to have him quit and go complain to FIFA that he didn't get paid on time.

Apparently he left Iran without signing, but will come back soon to do so...

Lol Why am I not surprised? It's "officially" been announced that he's our new manager and everything already, but he hasn't signed the contract.

Where else do you ever hear of this happening in football?

He left without signing a contract. Now Taj says the contract will be finalized on Monday (May 20, 2019) https://varzesh3.com/news/1612219/%D...B4%D9%88%D8%AF . Keeping my fingers crossed.

Go TM!

مهاجرانی: ویلموتس می*تواند کاری که کی*روش نکرد را انجام دهد
سرمربی پیشین تیم ملی فوتبال ایران تاکید کرد که مارک ویلموتس یک مربی بین*المللی است و می*تواند یک تیم آسیایی را هدایت کند.
حشمت مهاجرانی در مصاحبه با خبرنگار ورزشی خبرگزاری تسنیم، در خصوص انتخاب مارک ویلموتس به*عنوان سرمربی جدید تیم ملی فوتبال ایران گفت: ویلموتس یک مربی بین*المللی است و می*تواند یک تیم آسیایی را هدایت کند. باید انتظار داشته باشیم که با این مربی در فوتبال پیشرفت کنیم، اتفاقی که در زمان مربیگری کی*رش رخ نداد. ما در دنیا تبدیل به تیم مطرحی شدیم ولی فوتبال*مان پیشرفت نکرد، امیدوارم حضور ویلموتس به پیشرفت فوتبال ایران و تیم ملی کمک کند و کاری که در زمان کی*روش انجام نشد، صورت گیرد.
سرمربی پیشین تیم ملی تاکید کرد: اتفاقاتی که در زمان مربیگری کی*روش رخ داد، بزرگترین تجربه برای ما است تا بتوانیم از آنها درس بگیریم. خوشبختانه مهدی تاج قبل از جام ملت*ها خیلی خوب رفتار کرد و قرار داد کی*روش را تا جام جهانی تمدید نکرد، هر چند در این موضوع وزیر ورزش هم تاثیرگذار بود. آنهایی که فوتبال را از نزدیک دنبال می*کنند، به*خوبی می دانند کی*روش قصد داشت تا ۴ سال دیگر هم در تیم ملی بماند ولی تاج در عدم تمدید قرارداد این مربی تصمیم درستی گرفت.
مهاجرانی با بیان اینکه نباید در مورد ویلموتس قضاوتی زودهنگام داشته باشیم، خاطرنشان کرد: همانطور که گفتم ویلموتس یک مربی بین*المللی است و دلیلی هم ندارد که در خصوص این مربی منفی صحبت کنیم. منطق حکم می*کند که باید منتظر باشیم تا عملکرد این مربی را در تیم ملی ببینیم و سپس قضاوت درست داشته باشیم. دلیلی ندارد در مورد این مربی فضای منفی ایجاد کنیم، امیدوارم ویلموتس کارش را به بهترین شکل ممکن انجام دهد.
وی در پایان در رابطه با اینکه کدام تیم قهرمان لیگ برتر خواهد شد، گفت: روی کاغذ شانس پرسپولیس زیاد است ولی در زمین فوتبال ممکن است هر اتفاقی رخ دهد.

Yes, a coach that was relevant in the 70’s, an era when mail was delivered using vehicles, is who we should all listen to.

There is somethink wrong that he would not come back on monday
it's very strange come back to Iran on Monday to sign. Something's not right here.*

I still hope José Mourinho or Klinsmann, Franz Beckenbauer or Del Bosque even if Dick Advocaat or Marco van Basten would all been better

I am still ready for the job with my 5 German assistant to make Team Melli champions again.

The only thing that needs to be taken with a grain of salt is the timing of it. In the end, usually, Taj has a record of delivering.

[Futbaldoost]

Wilmots doesn’t have to go back to Iran to sign. Last time I checked there was a 20th century human invention called the Internet and there is another one in the same century called Fax

Interesting, Taj and I had the same age range in mind for coaches.

Yea, but they’d like to present him to the media/world in person once it’s confirmed.

The latest from Varzesh3 is that Alavi who is in charge of IFF PR has said that Taj and Wilmots will sign the contract in Belgium on Tuesday https://varzesh3.com/news/1612448/%D...B4%D9%88%D8%AF .
