Explanation of Iran's head coach about Ando's separation

Amir Qalanoui talked about Timurian's decision to leave and trying to attract another foreign coach.

According to Sport Seh, Andranik Timourian's departure from Iran's coaching staff was one of the changes in the technical staff before the friendly matches against Uzbekistan and Russia. The end of this cooperation made news in a situation where no clear explanation was given about the reason, and now Qalanewi says that Ando himself decided not to participate in this series.

At the same time, the issue of strengthening the technical staff by recruiting foreign coaches is also discussed. Mehdi Taj had previously announced an attempt to add a foreign coach, and now Qalanoi also confirms the pursuit of this program, although he considers its implementation dependent on the availability of conditions and financial resources.

Ghalenoui said about the separation of Andranik Timourian: "Mr. Timourian was not an assistant, he was a colleague. Mr. Timourian and Mr. Rahman Rezaei are among the greats of our contemporary football and they worked hard in football and in the club and national arena. He has not diagnosed himself and I wish him success in the future."

In response to the question of whether another person will replace Timurian, the head coach of the Iran team explained: "It is a good question. Wherever we were, whether it was a club or a national team, we always tried to use foreign colleagues. You see, the cooperation we brought is active in Italy, and Mr. Manicone himself was a member of the Swiss national team for seven years."

He continued: "Even now, if the conditions are right, we will take action. However, there are budget issues and financial problems, but we are definitely looking to add another foreign colleague."
