Where did the strengthening of the technical staff of the national volleyball team go?/ From Antigua to Armat! – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr reporter, after the Iranian national volleyball team got poor results in the League of Volleyball Nations, the officials of the federation decided not to change the technical staff of the national team, but to strengthen it, and for this, they recruited first-class coaches. A foreigner was put on the agenda as an assistant in the national team.
According to this goal, the names of many options, mostly top-class foreign coaches, came up to assist Behrouz Atai in the national volleyball team. One of them was “Stefan Antiga”, who, of course, immediately rejected the offer of the volleyball federation and announced that he would not be an assistant in the Iranian volleyball team!
Almost from the time when the officials of the volleyball federation put the strengthening of the technical staff with the presence of first-class foreign coaches on the agenda, all volleyball experts believed that this was not possible and none of the first-class foreign coaches were present as assistants in the national volleyball team. will not find
However, the federation still insisted on this position and even considered recruiting a first-class foreign coach to be time-consuming and postponed it until after the Hangzhou Asian Games! Before the start of the Asian Championship hosted by Urmia, “Pavel Matheus Weiski” left the national team and the officials of the federation announced that Pavel’s contract was until the end of the League of Volleyball Nations and he was in the national team to help Iranian volleyball before the Asian Championship. He appeared and actually did not have a contract and worked hard.
Finally, with the announcement of the officials of the volleyball federation, “Pavel” club did not allow him to participate in the Iranian national volleyball team any more, and Pavel left Iran before the Asian Championship. After that, a few days before the Asian Championship, with the announcement of the Volleyball Federation, team “B” was formed under the guidance of Masoud Armat. Now it has been reported that Masoud Armat will be added to the team at the request of Behrouz Atai and will accompany the Iranian national volleyball team in the Olympic qualifiers hosted by Rio de Janeiro.
The choice of Armat to sit on the bench of the national team is accompanied by many criticisms, and some volleyball people believe that he is not a good choice to strengthen the technical staff of the national team. In fact, the federation that considered options like “Antiga” reached Masoud Armat, and this choice is not acceptable from the point of view of volleyball people.
On the other hand, some believe that Atai’s choice of Armat as an assistant in the Olympic selection was only to fill the empty capacity of the national team’s bench in the technical staff. Considering that Atai usually does not have a good relationship with the coaches of the national team, and in June of last year, “Thomas Tutolo” was removed from the national team according to his opinion, Afshardoust, who had returned to coaching after the League of Nations at Atai’s request, was also removed from the national team. Separated, the discussion of filling the capacity of the technical bench can have the color of reality to some extent.
