Paatoop.com - Team Melli’s assistant coach says that the federation should be careful about hiring people such as Mohammad Mayeli Kohan.

Regarding Mayeli Kohan’s recent criticism of Carlos Queiroz, Oceano da Cruz said, “Mr. Mayeli Kohan’s results were always disappointing. In the teams that he was in, he was either fired, or lead his team to relegation; clubs such as: Saipa, Paykan, Foolad, Shahrdari Tabriz, and Gahar. He was Iran’s coach for World Cup 98 (France) Qualifiers, but was fired. And this was the right decision, because the next coach after him lead Iran to France. After that, he coached Iran’s Olympic squad, then again he was fired.”

He added, “About his character, I must say when he was a Persepolis player he tried to get in a physical altercation with the fans. And when he was the assistant, he got in a fight with a journalist.”

Oceano stated, “Overall, he has had many altercations and feuds with many people, and caused many problems, and as everyone knows that he has even gone to jail. He has no right to talk about anyone, because nobody even takes him serious. The federation must be careful about hiring such people, because they can seriously hurt (the country’s) football.”
