The explanation of the spokesperson of the federation regarding the ambiguity of the Qalanewi contract and the latest situation regarding the selection of the head coach of the Omid team

According to the sports reporter of Fars news agency, in the situation that Amir Qalanewi was elected as the new head coach of our country’s national football team on March 21 of last year, the decision of this coach, which was issued 2 days ago, states that “due to his expertise, commitment and experience Your Excellency, and the approval dated 12/09/1401 of the Federation President, you are appointed to the position of the head coach of our country’s national football team. The inclusion of the date of March 9 in this ruling has caused doubts about the time of Qalanewi’s election.

In an interview with the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Ehsan Usoli said about this matter: After the meeting of the Board of Governors dated March 9 last year, I told the journalists that the Board of Governors had specified a framework and the authority was delegated to the head of the federation to Check the selection framework of the head coach of the national team. Finally, on the 21st of March, Mehdi Taj introduced Amir Qalanewi as the head coach of the national team.

He added: “Now I don’t know why this issue can be a priority and we consider ourselves obliged to answer.” The explanation of the ambiguity in this case was as follows. On March 9th, no selection was made and even after the meeting I said that only the framework for the selection of the head coach of the national team has been determined, but there is no evidence. Taj also chose Qalanewi in the framework of the decision of the board of directors and the delegated authority, with the investigations carried out on March 21. In addition, we did not have a meeting from March 9 to 28.

The spokesperson of the Football Federation answered about the latest situation regarding the selection of the head coach of the Omid national team: Today, Taj and Khosravi Wafa (head of the National Olympic Committee) had a meeting regarding the selection of the head coach of the Omid team. The frameworks of this selection have been determined and, God willing, in less than a week, the head coach of the national team of Omid will be introduced. Here, as in the discussion of the adult team, we do not mention the name and the example, and we have more points on the frameworks, because according to the existing work routine and procedure, the head coach of the Omid team must be determined with the coordination of the National Olympic Committee. Soon we will announce the final summary, selection and examples to the public and the media.

About whether the selection of the Iranian option for the head coach of Omid team is certain or whether a foreign head coach will be selected, Usoli explained: We have conditions and limitations in the discussion of employing a foreign coach, and some points are also taken into consideration in the selection of a domestic coach. Considering all aspects, we will choose the head coach of Omid team in coordination with the national committee.
