People don’t accept the famous head coach/we shouldn’t delay any longer – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
In an interview with Mehr reporter, Farhad Nazari Afshar said about the process of selecting the head coach of the Iranian national volleyball team: After the Iranian national volleyball team did not get results with the Iranian staff and somehow went backwards, all the people and volleyball fans were waiting for a great figure in World Volleyball should be selected as the head coach to improve the players mentally and psychologically as well as technically.
He said: In all the meetings of the technical committee, all the members emphasized on the selection of a foreign head coach, until the names of some Iranian coaches were mentioned in the third meeting of the technical committee, and when the friends were confronted with these names in that meeting, they said, “We have solved this issue, why now?” The names of Iranian coaches should be proposed to lead the national team. Again, everyone expressed their opinions.
The former national volleyball player of Iran said about the head coach of Saeed Maarouf in the national team: Saeed Maarouf is one of the elites of Iranian volleyball and everyone has a positive view of him. In the meetings of the technical committee, they all supported Saeed, but they believed that since he has no experience, he should not be Start coaching.
Nazari Afshar continued: During Moradi’s tenure, meetings were held again, coaches’ resumes were discussed in the advisory council, and Mr. Moradi had negotiated with all his friends. In the advisory council, some friends were of the opinion that Piazza should take over the leadership of the national team, because his assistant will be Tutolo, and according to the knowledge that this coach has of Iranian volleyball, the work will go well, and Saeed Maarouf and other coaches will be with him. And coaching should also take place.
Stating that we have a very small chance to participate in the Olympics, he said: Although our chance is very small, we should not lose it. I would like a foreign coach to be recruited for the national team because when I was playing myself, when the foreign coach was monitoring our training, we tried to prove ourselves. A coach like Velasco changed the mentality of our players and discovered talents. The set of these reasons made me want to hire a foreign coach.
Nazari Afshar said: In the last meeting, all members announced their opinions. Hanin was not one of the options from the beginning, Saeed Marouf was also loved and praised by everyone, but in the end they did not choose him and I don’t know how it was. I myself wanted to be behind Saeed Mahroub and support him because I believed that he has the ability, but I didn’t think it was advisable at the moment because I think the public still doesn’t accept this issue. My opinion was with Lorenzetti; Why he had worked with teenagers and we could use his capacity in the basic category.
He said: The members of the technical committee say that we have time to choose the head coach of the national team, but this is not the case at all. We had to do all the planning now and even determine the opponents of the national team preparations. In my opinion, it is too late even now. Why should all work be 90 minutes?! During the Ataei period, it was constantly emphasized that we did not have time and we had little preparation game, he said that I fought corruption when his responsibility was something else. I find it difficult to choose a head coach for the national team because the interests of some people depend on this issue. It is better for Moradi to negotiate with Lorenzetti in person.
