Brussels (AFP) - Belgian Marc Wilmots announced he was leaving his position as coach of Iran after six matches in charge which included a 14-0 victory over Cambodia, he said on Twitter.

"Contrary to the informations published in the Iranian press, no amicable agreement between the Iranian federation, myself and my staff has been found," he posted on Wednesday.

"We are in negotiations in order to find an amicable solution after a failure to respect contractual obligations by the Iranian federation after the justified termination of the contract," Wilmots, who led Belgium's golden generation to the Euro 2016 quarter-finals, added.

The ex-Belgium boss took charge of Team Melli in May after a six-game stint with the Ivory Coast in 2017.

In November he also said on the platform he and his staff were in an "intolerable situation" due to serious contractual violations by the Iranian Football Federation (FFIRI).

Earlier in the year, the Belga news agency reported the FFIRI had paid Wilmots late and he had threatened to resign with his contract running until the 2022 World Cup.

Iran sit in third place in their qualifying group for Qatar with six points from four games after defeats to Iraq and Bahrain, the two countries in the spots to reach the tournament in three years' time.

Croatian Branko Ivankovic has been linked by German and Belgian press to replace Wilmots.

Believe me he will blame all on Iran, he wont talk a single good word about Iran and let it look as if the federation didnt do their job and he is unguilty. And in Europe people will believe it ...

Wilmots writes Not without my money...

As someone who lives in Belgium, knows Belgians and works with them on a daily basis I could've foreseen this. No surprise here at all!!

We had to keep Carlos Quriouz even he not made Asian Cup 2019. But he was our best choose and a succeful World Cup 2018 a 3th World Cup would mean we would advance last 16. He needed more time and 8 years of hard work is lost.*

I respect Branco but he is not the some level as Carlos!*

To send Carlos Queiroz away was the stupidest action. after a successful 2018 World Cup, he should have received a contract up to World Cup 2022.

I will never ever forget Carlos Qurioz! And hope he will be back with us after the World Cup 2022

Look to Germany Joachim Low by Germany since 2006! 13 years!
