The Tehran Times disclosed that Nekonnan, a shining star of Iranian soccer, may be about to turn to the coaching bench to take over from Queiroz, who is also expected to be promoted to the position of technical director.
The Iranian Football Federation (IFF) is about to convene an important meeting in the next two weeks to have an in-depth discussion on the selection of the new coach. Queiroz's contract with the Iranian Football Federation (IFF) is said to have expired, while Nekonnan's name has surfaced as the man expected to lead the team at the 2023 Asian Cup.
If Nekonnen is successful in his appointment, he will work hand-in-hand with Queiroz, whose recent World Cup performances failed to lead his team into the knockout stages but still showed impressive tactical intelligence against Wales.
