coach needs to put pressure on federation to provide the best possible preparation. previously CQ managed to do that with:

Its not the coaches job to put pressure on IFF for friendly games, Its media and our job to do that. CQ did damesh garm but its not coaches job to put pressure on IFF. What makes you think any other coaches will put pressure on IFF???

I don't understand the logic. You guys hit the coach instead of (us fans) starting campaigns and hashtags directed at IFF for friendly games and better camps.

All i know is that this team is good, the coaching staff is good . We just need more friendly games.

Media is more concerned with making stupid comments about player selections and lineups instead of asking "WHEN IS TM PLAYING NEXT?"

A friendly against Japan is the next logical step.

how could we make pot 2? and why would we know by end of day? isn't based on Fifa rankings which are out on the 31st?

Because all games are over by end of the day. *apart from few teams which they will be in pot4 if they qualify

The only way we get pot 2 is:

Sweden + Senegal + Portugal (or costa rica directly making it to WC ) to lose.

Top 15 ranking qualified teams will be in pot 1 and 2.

And then?
Think further. A good coach … even a world class coach can‘t fix our deep rooted problems.
How would any good coach want to work in Iran when we sack Skocic right now, Astaghfirullah.
Skocic did better than anyone expected.
He earned his spot and will be our coach at the World Cup. Period.

Dude has such a hardon for finding a new coach. I don't think he even bothers reading people's replies. Some people have such massive tunnel vision it's insane.

Yea and start rumors on who will be our next coach. Bunch of idiots and the leader is pejman rahbar

To clarify:

Iran will be in pot 2 if:

EITHER Sweden + Senegal + Portugal all lose

OR Sweden + Senegal lose and costa rica qualifies (by winning the playoffs against Wales and Peru)

Correct?

wrong again. Media in iran is also useless. Fans are powerless in this situation as IFF, like IR doesnt give a shit what people think. You think they will be swayed by hashtags

Like I said, it is out of the normal job description of the coach, but if we want to be successful the COACH needs to go above and beyond. Skocic so far does not want to risk confrontation with IFF for fear of his own job.

Khabar Varzeshi also has alot of hate for him.

CQ did a great job putting pressure on the IFF for better facilities and friendlies, his downfall was not being political with the media and getting them on his side. He was fighting multiple battles on multiple fronts, he ended up getting ganged upon by multiple factions. Sadly I don't think we'll get a coach like him in awhile.

Correct?

No costa rica must qualify directly. Meaning they must beat USA by 5 goals Or Mexico lose and costa rica win by 4 goals.

But the other option is right.

exactly, in the end it was too much for even him to handle. But bottom line is, coach of TM cannot simply show up for international week and expect long term success.

skocic does not have credentials to such extracurricular activities.

Think about it, if CQ didnt complain as much as he did TM would still have no practice pitch right now, let alone all the most modern gym, recovery, hydrotherapy equipment that exists at PEC. It is being used by 3 youth national teams and a women's side as well. Talk about lasting impact.

No coach will put pressure on IFF. IFF won't make the same type of contract as they did with CQ and Wilmots. Any new coach will have same type of contract as skocic to shut him up

CQ was starting a revolution in iran .

Regarding media, Its been done before... if they put pressure on IFF we'll end up seeing some changes. Mirshad Majedi is a footballi person and he should already know what we want.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. That does look like very remote chances! But let's see what happens. You never know until it's all done!
