TEHRANTIMES - Iran Football Federation president Ali Kafashain stated that Carlos Queiroz has done a good job over the past four years and IFF is not going to replace him with another coach.

“We are satisfied with Team Melli’s performance both in the World Cup and Asian Cup. We have lost against Iraq but the players did their best and the Iranian fans are happy despite team’s elimination from the tournament,” Kafashian told reporters.

“Queiroz knows Iran’s football better than any other coach and we are not going to part company with him despite elimination from Asian Cup.

“He has brought young talented players to Iran team and we are counting on him for 2018 World Cup,” IFF president added.

Iran was knocked out of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup after a dramatic quarter-final loss to Iraq on penalties.
