According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Amirreza Vaez Ashtiani said after registering for the election of the president of the football federation: I entered this arena only with national pride and I will do what I can. The football team needs changes and I come with the slogan of transformation. When we say that a manager changes, it means that new things happen in the field of management; Otherwise, they are the same managers as before and everyone claps and whistles for them.
He stated that he has entered the election competition with a changed perspective and clarified: If I am elected as the head of the federation, we will fulfill our promises and will not leave some issues to the future. We try to make good use of the capacities of the football community and we will act in such a way that the least damage is caused. Because every change has resistances and damages. We will announce our plans in the coming weeks.
The candidate for the presidency of the Football Federation said that he did not fill out the five forms required for registration: This is not an important matter. There are those who have blank signatures and are thinking about which candidates to sign.
In response to Tasnim’s reporter, Vaez Ashtiani said: You should ask yourself this good question and ask what motivated them to enter this field. The performance of people is clear and I hope the members of the assembly will make a decision correctly and decisively. It is not appropriate for football that some managers enter the issue “barely in any direction”.
Stating that Iran’s football has many capacities, he noted: If the program and effective factors are alongside this capacity, we will achieve good success. Advancing to the World Cup is no longer an honor for the head of the federation, and today we have to see what we have achieved in the World Cup. We have been saying that we are experimenting for several years. Where has this experience been used?
The candidate for president of the Football Federation said about the head coach of the Iranian national team: I will not comment on the dismissal of Skocic, but he worked hard for the national team. He created empathy in the national team after Wilmots left, and Iran’s results with Skocic were logical. The members of the technical committee have to decide whether a loss can remove someone or not.
