Julio Velasco.
He led Italy to several European, World League and World Cup championships in volleyball in the 90s.. Before Iran he coached Spain.
He is one of the best volleyball coaches in the world.
Good for the volleyball federation. The federation is clearly planning to get Iran's team in the Olympics.

Also this shows that despite the poor political conditions in Iran, top coaches are willing to come and work in Iran in every sport but football. WHY?
Because volleyball, basketball, wrestling, weightlifting... all have much more talent on the world stage and obviously have better run federations.

[Shamim]

Well there is much more less money in Volleyball than in Football so there is less parasites around.

[HuSsAiN]

Iran are much better in indoor competitions and lack quality and facilities in outdoor sports such as tennis,football, athletics etc .

Whats the reason for this? Is it just because of the facilities??

[IranFootball10]

^ Because they mostly use the same facilities for multiple sports. For example, an indoor court/stadium could be used for several sports including basketball, volleyball, handball, futsal, wrestling and others...

[Nariman]

Because none of those sports will ever be as popular as football.

Example:
Imagine the Volleyball qualifies for the World Cup.
Now imagine the same with our football team and you will get the picture.

Of course we all would be happy about both qualifications, but for which team, hundreds of people would go out and celebrate/dance on the streets?


IR's main goal is to control the people, no matter how. Hell, they even secretly import Drugs so people become addicted. It is all BS that these kinds of things are banned, actually IR LOVES THEM.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that IR infleunce is lower, which means there is more room for improvement.

Without any doubt we have the necessary talent in football, but the Federation is full of IR people, who simply have no clue about football, just look what Dadkan or others said many times. They are there for one reason and we all know it.

I know someone who played football in Iran until he broke his leg. He said that without any connection you are almost lost as a footballer, there so many talents we have but the majority is being wasted. In Iran it is not about Talent, but rather more about who you know!
