AFTER Iran beat Serbia in the Volleyball Nations League to move into the finals, the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei congratulated the team on social media with a post titled “Happy success with an Iranian coach.”
After clinching qualification for the World Cup in January, ‘Team Melli’ is preparing for high-profile games in Group B against England on November 21 and the United States eight days later. Iran will also face Wales on November 25. “While the team qualified easily for the World Cup, poor performances and results against strong opponents South Korea and Algeria have led to fans and key players losing faith in the coach.”
Despite reports that Ali Daei has turned the job down, the country’s leading international goalscorer is still on the IFF’s shortlist, as is Amir Ghaleneoi, who led the team from 2006 to 2008.
