Shock to Yahya in Iraq: Duhok Announces Sudden Decision

While Yahya Golmohammadi was seen as the first choice for the Omid team and was set to terminate his contract with the Iraqi club, Duhok has announced that not only will it not part ways with him, but it is seeking to extend the contract of this Iranian coach. The development has complicated Yahya's situation.

While Yahya Golmohammadi was mentioned as the first option of the Omid team and he was supposed to cancel his contract with the Iraqi team, but the declaration of Dohuk not only does not cancel him, but also seeks to extend the contract with this Iranian head coach. An issue that has complicated Yahya's situation.

According to ambassador Arjan, after the poor performance of Iran's Omid team in the Asian Games in Nagoya and the dismissal of Hossein Abdi, various and repeated options were proposed to be on the Omid team's bench, but again, the same old story of low salary made the answer to many of these options negative, as usual.

However, new news about the football federation's decision to increase the salary of the head coach of the Omid team was published, and it was even said that a monthly offer of 6 billion tomans has been proposed!

In the meantime, Yahya Golmohammadi's name is apparently on the table of the Football Federation as a strong option, and it is said that one of the members of the Board of Directors of the Football Federation has conducted initial negotiations with the current head coach Dohok.

On the other hand, in the past month, the Iraqi media reported the termination of cooperation between Dohok and Gulmohammadi several times due to unacceptable results, but no confirmation or action has been taken by Dohok's managers in this regard.

The topic of Iran Football Federation's offer to Golmohammadi and the news about this offer caused a new wave in Iraqi football, and in this way, an official reaction was soon seen from Dohok officials.

In this regard; Jassim Haji, manager of the Dohuk team, in an interview with Al-Riyadhi TV channel, emphasized the continued cooperation with Yahya Golmohammadi and said: "There is no clause in his contract that allows him to leave the Dohuk team without the prior approval of the management if he receives an offer to lead one of Iran's national teams. Golmohammadi has a contract with the Dohuk club until the end of this season, and the club's management is considering extending his contract for another season."

With a 3-0 victory in their recent game against Al-Zura, the Dohok team suffered the first defeat of this championship contender, and by gaining three important points, they gained 12 points and placed in seventh place in the 20-team table of Iraqi football. In this way, new hopes have been revived in the Dohuk team, and according to the team manager, the club managers are also looking to renew Golmohammadi's contract!

On the other hand, with these conditions, it seems that the series of challenges of Tim Omid will continue. While the case of Abdi's weak team and the humiliating defeat against North Korea in Nagoya was closed with an apology, there is not much time left for the 2028 Olympic selection, but this team is still undecided, and it seems that the result will not be better than the Asian Games.

Even though different countries are planning a strong presence in the selection competitions, Iran's Omid team, which was supposed to get to know its new technical staff immediately after the dismissal of Hossein Abdi within 48 hours after the defeat against North Korea, is still in the corner of selecting the head coach of Aslah!
