According to Tasnim news agency, Roger Desa, Carlos Queiroz’s assistant in our country’s national football team, revealed in an interview with South Africa’s “SABC Sports” website that Queiroz was interested in Iran’s football authorities to lead the national team again a week after the end of his career in the Egyptian national football team. was placed and calls were made to this Portuguese coach since then. The former head coach of the national football teams of Portugal and Colombia announced his resignation from the position of head coach of this team on April 10, after failing to bring Egypt to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Desa, who also worked with Queiroz in the technical staff of the Egyptian national team, said: “Probably about a week after we left Egypt, Iran started contacting Carlos Queiroz and we went and had a few conversations about this. We reached an agreement a few weeks ago. There were just a few details left to sort out and once we agreed on those, it’s a chance to be at another World Cup and why shouldn’t we go for it? If they want you, you should come and do your job and see how things go.
This coach from South Africa, who trained the national team on Wednesday and Thursday with Queiroz and other staff members, stated: We will resume training on Saturday and then we will fly to Austria, where we will play Uruguay and Senegal. . After the end of Austria’s camp, we will return to Iran and continue monitoring the team’s players there. These two friendly games give us a good idea. I might travel to Europe to watch some Iranian Legionnaires and we’ll probably train in Dubai for a week before we go to Qatar.
The 69-year-old Queiroz replaced Dragan Skochij last week to take charge of Iran’s national soccer team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where the national team is in Group B with England, Wales and the United States.
