Our New volleyball coach..

[Ab-Gosht]

Kovac did great. Iran did their best world league and world champs in history with kovac! BUT all good things has to come to an end and now was time to move on becuase players needed new blood.

^ I agree. He should have stayed. They did wrong in firing him because of one bad performance. World cup in Poland was also good, Germany had just studied us, unfortunately.

no doubt he was sacked unfairly however, Iran needs a better coach than Kovac, he is a decent coach for a lower tier team but not for Iran. We need somebody like CQ, not necessarily the most attacking team but the best tactical team. Somebody like CQ who would unite the team and the players would play their best.
