Iran in 1998
Four months before World Cup: Tomislav Ivic appointed
Three weeks before World Cup: Tomislav Ivic sacked
Within those three months, one of the greatest coaches of all time did what needed to be done and revolutionised Iran's football. Which meant that even with Jalal Talebi we had our second best ever world cup performance and a Nakisa mistake away from 4 points (against a stacked Yugoslavia, dominant 90s Germany and a hungry USA)
There is always time.
