And this from IRANWIRE LINK:
All this suggests Iran Varzeshi would be the first to know if there had been a decision reached behind closed doors, something Taj is already notorious for doing. On the other hand, the publication may have intentionally jumped the gun in order to pressure Skočić into stepping down. Either way, the report was*quoted*by Iranian state media outlets and by some international sports news websites, all before an official announcement from the Federation, Team Melli or Queiroz himself.
As well as:
Indeed, according to FIFA rules, federations are barred from negotiating with other would-be head coaches before terminating an ongoing contract. Taj’s intention must be to covertly reach an agreement with Queiroz, then go forward to terminate the contract with Skočić – or else commit a violation on the eve of the World Cup.
If anything, then, Iran Varzeshi's report will strengthen Dragan Skočić’s hand in the event of a future dispute. In the background, its other likely effect will be to further disorientate and divide both the players and Skočić himself, after months of turmoil, and ahead of one of the most important tournaments of all their careers to date.
