According to Taj: Ghotbi is the coach.

Lets wait and see, our last coach was oppointed out of nowhere and was fired after 2 weeks.

I think it would have felt better if he was oppointed first, Iranian football is having rough times.

Iranian football is a laughing stock!
They should just close the whole thing for a while.

They will burn Ghotbi at the stakes. He will regret this in time.

I say we fire Ghotbi and bring in a bearded lady. I think she'll be most suited to work in this circus!

nice a video analyser with no team got the job!!
well done

Good luck Mr. Ghotbi.

I personally think its too little too late anyways. Iranian football needs to be shut down and rebulit from the ground up. :dunno:

At the end, the poor guy is going to get crucified while the root cause of this disastrous situation, i.e., IFF and the "management" will remain intact. :chair:

TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—Iran appointed another national soccer team coach on Wednesday, replacing the coach who lasted two weeks.

Afshin Qotbi takes over a day after Mohammad Mayely-Kohan resigned after only two weeks on the job. Mayely-Kohan’s resignation followed a bitter dispute with another coach, state television reported.

The 55-year-old Mayely-Kohan had replaced former Iran star Ali Daei this month after the team’s loss to Saudi Arabia in a World Cup qualifier.

Qotbi coached Iranian club Piroozi last year.

Iran is fourth in the five-team Group B of Asian World Cup qualifying, with six points from five games. South Korea leads the group with 11 points, one point ahead of North Korea and Saudi Arabia.
