Durhami Ghale Noi and his friends in the national team; "Bismillah"

Amir Qalanoui says that the national team should not be expected to even reach the semi-finals of the Nations Cup.

The stories of Amir Ghalenoui with the Iranian national team are endless; He, who has extended his contract until the end of the Nations Cup after getting normal results in the World Cup and not advancing to the elimination stage in the 48-team World Cup, is going through difficult times. The reason for this difficulty is the real manifestation of the quality of the national team in the era of this head coach. Its signs are revealed now more than ever; The national team lost in two weak games against Uzbekistan and Russia to make it clear that technically and tactically, this team has not progressed at all, it has also regressed.

Reaching the final of the Asian Nations Cup

The fact that the national team plays badly and gets bad results is a fact that the football audience has faced, but some people whose interest is in not accepting such conditions, promise the future; For example, Amir Qalanoui is going to lead the national team to the finals of the Asian Nations Cup in order to extend his contract until the end of the 2030 World Cup. This is an issue that some members of the Iranian Football Federation's Board of Directors had emphasized on and considered as a precondition for the construction of a new fortress.

The general opinion was that the board of directors, which is Zob in Mehdi Taj and his decisions, has shown itself and has set conditions for Qalanewi. However, the recent television interview of Amir Ghalenoui shows the situation to be worse than it should be. In part of his relatively long statements about the possibility of the national team winning the Asian Nations Cup, he has a key sentence: "Anyone can take this team to the finals or semi-finals, God willing."

This single sentence is enough to question all the decisions of the Football Federation about Amir Ghalenoui. In fact, the main question here is that if Ghalenoui does not see himself able to take the team to the semi-finals of the Asian Nations Cup, based on which characteristics, he remains the head coach of the national team.

There is no promise, no youthism

Amir Qalanoui is still leading the national team in a situation where it is expected that he will get the results of his long-term presence in this team in the Asian Nations Cup. He is the first coach in the history of Iranian football who can sit on the bench for the third time in the Nations Cup. Nevertheless, Ghalenoui says that he did not make a promise for the championship and now he says that if someone can take this team to the semi-finals, by God, he will come and take over the job.

During the years of his presence in the national team, Ghalenoui has neither achieved results nor made a generational change so that the future of Iranian football is a little brighter. It means that no achievements have been recorded in the past and Iran is not going to have a future with him. However, apparently, his and his friends' stint in the national team is still going on without a specific goal. Here, however, the more important question should be asked, why is the cost of tens of billions for a coach who does not promise success, does not promote youth, does not build a generation, and a bonus of 140 billion tomans is approved for him?

Isn't it better to rejuvenate the national team's roster, and also rejuvenate the national team's bench, so that at least someone with more motivation and technical ability can take charge of the national team, hoping that at least the future will not be as unclear as these days?
