According to the sports reporter of Fars news agency, Ehsan Usuli said about the rumors of Dragan Skocic’s dismissal from the head coach of the national team and whether Mirshad Majdi’s trip to Dubai has anything to do with his negotiations for the options considered for his replacement. It affects the football community and the society.

He continued: I gave explanations about the discussion of Skocic’s change a few days ago. The great person who first tweeted about the presence of Keirosh, they used the video and my talk in the program at the end of Alvand on their website and network, but I don’t know what happened within 24 hours and what they achieved on Thursday when our work is different. With other days, what happened that he came to such a conclusion. In the continuation of the series, some friends published the content that caused this problem.

The spokesperson of the football federation added: The head coach of the national team, especially the head coach of the senior team, will be decided by the board of the federation. In order to reach such a decision, the board of directors considers the mechanisms and mechanisms that already existed even now. That is, we use the opinions of the technical committee and consider their results. So far, no decision has been made to change and no negotiation has been done with any person regarding the replacement of the head coach of the national team.

Usoli added: What is important for us is that the matter of the national team, achieving brilliant results and strong participation in the World Cup is a priority and a definite choice for us. In this regard, there are different opinions and viewpoints from different places. We hear these technical comments. We invite friends and listen to the talks in the technical committee meetings. Mirshad Majdi, who has personally taken over the technical issues of the federation. From the day that the board of the current federation was formed, Majdi was responsible for technical issues.

Regarding the fact that with these talks, it seems that the support of the board of directors is no longer in question for Skocic and the case of change has been opened on the table of the federation, he said: This way of taking my words is not correct. For us, the topic of the national team is always open, checking and updating the data that is raised in this regard. It is open about all teams, not just the senior national team. With all these interpretations of summaries and decisions to change, this is not the case.

The spokesperson of the Football Federation said that the news is being heard from the corridors of the ministries and any other body, including the Ministry of Sports and the Football Federation, and whether the federation is under pressure from somewhere else to change the head coach, he said: The national team belongs to all Iranian people. Opinions are cited from different places. Anyway, the Ministry of Sports is related in this field and is not unrelated to the issue. It has technical opinions and views and meetings are held. In this regard, the tips, concerns and considerations of friends will be heard by the technical team and the head of the federation. Finally, these comments and views will be sent to the Board of Directors and we will summarize them there.

About whether they use the opinions of the Ministry of Sports and the Parliament, Usoli answered: I said that the technical department of the Ministry of Sports has comments and views in this regard. They also have a technical committee. They are the specialized ministry of sports in the government. I did not talk about the parliament, but the decision is made by the football federation and the board of directors.

Regarding the fact that they are consulted to make a decision, he explained: How the media consult for their opinions and views. Today, I also used the words of Khodadad Azizi. They comment and we cannot stop someone from commenting. We also hear these comments. To say that we don’t listen to anyone’s words and only act on what we have concluded ourselves is a kind of autocracy and we are not allowed to do such a thing. We need to hear different opinions. Based on this, we put hearing comments on the agenda in all issues.

The spokesperson of the Football Federation said: “On what basis do you say that there is a difference between the members of the governing body?”

In response to the comment of the host of the sports program that he did not talk about the disagreement of the board of directors and said that the selection of the head coach needs to be approved and that if the national team does not get a favorable result, they will contact the federation, the supervisor and the board of directors, he explained: To grab my collar as a board member, you have to go after the people who made those tweets.

He said: Please, if the mass media and social networks want to work for the benefit of the national team, they should have an alignment in the interests of the team. Not that every morning when we wake up, we see someone mention something and start a commotion. From yesterday morning until last night, we were asked from different places what the issue was. We knew there was no news and replied to everyone. I come online in any program. All professional media should also deal with this part. Doesn’t the media play a role in this story?

The spokesperson of the federation added: Just because I have a platform or a channel that has a high number of visitors, can I express anything or create space for the national team, the football federation and society?

About the fact that the Football Federation has not made any decision to change the head coach, Usoli said: We have not made any decision, no dialogue has been held and we have not talked to anyone.

Regarding the fact that Keyrosh, Branko, Dayi and Nekonam have not been discussed, he said: We have not reached a conclusion about the change at all, so that we want to talk about the option.
