Ok so 1- CQ's performance in Colombia has nothing to do with this conversation. Two how could you say that CQ "failed. "When he took over Iran,
We were ranked #70 something and at an all-time low, in terms of morale. Initially, he was brought over to help us qualify for WC Brazil and that was 50/50 at best. He did a good job, so they resigned CQ and Iran did even better in 2018, almost qualifying for the 2nd round. With the limited budget Iran has, with the limited # of good quality friendly games, during CQ's tenure, he was the most successful coach Iran ever had.
Now you don't have to live in Iran 24/7/365 in order to be a good coach. What if Iran is not playing in the Asian Cup or World Cup and it is a down period. Do you really expect a foreigner to stay in Iran when he doesn't have to?
The only thing I can say is Skiocic is remain in Iran but so far he has not done or shown me ANYTHING. He is just benefiting from the system that CQ implemented over the last 8 years, and he is receiving the fruits of his labor. I think you are being a little too harsh on CQ and being a little too easy on Skocic but we tend to do that with coaches we like, and coaches we dislike> i am assuming you like Skocic and do not like CQ.
Colombia or South America is difficult for any coach. I expect big things from the Egyptian National Football team, watch the Pharos improve. The only criticism you can give to CQ si well, Iran did not light up the scoreboard and they would beat teams that they should dominate, like Vietnam 1-0 or 2-0. Other than that. I am also really nit picking here.
As for Skocic I don't read Farsi and it is nice that they talked it out, but this is a red flag, and he is very reactionary. At least we can say that, and he strike me as the type of guy who does not like to receive criticism from his players, even if it is valid. One reason why players loved CQ is they could go up to him and discuss anything, out in the open. Skocic is more of an old school style coach but if anyone has a lot to prove still it is HIM. Even if Iran qualifies at this point, we could coach Iran and qualify them for the WC, even if we are not in Iran 24/7/365 /During his down time, CQ went to visit his family, that is understandable. You don't have to live in Iran 24/7/365. Also, he was supposed to stay for one Worl cup. I thank him for his tireless efforts and hard work, changing Iran from an all offense, no defense team to a team that has the best defense in Asia. It' just my take and we can agree to disagree. Time will tell how this story will play out but I say he will NOT be the head coach for Qatar. I do enjoy discussing football with: guys like you, Uli, Shahram, OG, Tehol, Pooya, Iran Esteghlal Inter and others who know the game.
