I did not say that the federation should not rush to choose the head coach of the national volleyball team! – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news


Mahmoud Afshardoust, the spokesperson of the technical committee of the volleyball federation, in an interview with Mehr reporter, said about the negotiations of the volleyball federation with foreign options to lead the national team: I still do not know the process of the negotiations of the vice president of the federation with foreign coaches, and I do not even know the names of the options. I don’t even know with whom it was negotiated and how it was done. We are also waiting for the federation to specify the date and time of the meeting of the technical committee.

In response to holding a preparatory camp in Brazil before the League of Nations, when the national team still does not have a head coach, Afshardost said: “Finally, the head coach of the national team will be determined by the federation, the preparatory camp is not a bad thing in itself.” Considering the distance of the camp, it is in the interest of the national team to train there. But in any case, the team needs a head coach to plan the preparatory games sooner.

A member of the technical committee of the volleyball federation noted: We have to wait for the federation to determine the status of the head coach of the team. The members who were present at the meeting of the technical council and the technical committee all unanimously believed in recruiting a foreign coach. Once the coach is selected, planning will be done.

In response to the question that he still believes that there should be no rush to choose the head coach of the national team, Afshardost said: I did not say such a thing at all. Unfortunately, my words were misunderstood. When I said in the meeting that we should not rush, it was not only me, but all the members of the technical committee had this opinion, the reason being that there was no option to conclude a contract and confirm in the technical committee.

He continued: In fact, the options of leading the national volleyball team were canceled and the technical committee members suggested to Mr. Moradi that he spend a few more days for negotiations. It was not at all that I or any other member of the technical committee told them not to rush in choosing the head coach.

Moradi emphasized: If such a decision was made, it was because there was no option for confirmation, the foreign coaches had withdrawn, and for this reason, the members of the technical committee suggested that the conditions be further investigated. Therefore, it was not a matter of hurrying or not, in fact, the members told the vice president of the federation to wait a few days and consider more options. In fact, this not rushing was only for a few days, not two or three months.
