I'm from Iran and I am very concerned about the appointment of your new coach, do you have any information about this? With respect to Iran Iran new Coach is Carlos Queiroz from Portugal.
Please check the Saudi Daily News thread here: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=285053 According to rumours, the new Saudi NT coach is Marcelo Bielsa who coached Chile in the last world cup.
Guys, Did you know that Saudi Arabia was very close to signing a deal with Carlos Queiroz, and they had offered a much more lucrative deal to him than the Iranian FA, but apparently Jose Pesiero cock-blocked the Saudi authorities, telling Carlos Queiroz to "forget about the money, the people in charge of Saudi football are the most unprofessional bunch, just go to Iran ". This is according to Carlos Queiroz himself.
It's been reported in the press that it was Pesiero who convinced Queiroz not to sign a deal with Saudi Arabia.
Peseiro is also coming to Iran to work with Queiroz ,and take the helm of the U-23 team for the 2012 Olympic Qualifications.
i dont think its confirmed about the chilean , but i also think that gus hiddink is one of the favorites to take the job. he is currently managing the turkish national team but they say not for long.
um... so do you guys actually have a coach yet or no? You have a WCQ in just a few weeks and still don't have a coach? And I thought the IFF was bad.
Lollzzz....The FA is dealing with lots of internal problems now..One after the another problems are arising..The prince is busy in attending meetings all over the world..And you are talking about the WCQ,we have not played a single friendly since the last Asian Cup match..Lastly about the coach , many coaches have rejected the offer for coaching the NT..but the the FA has promised a big name soon..
A source to Al Arabiya Channel claims that Gabriel Calderon is the new coach of the NT.But as far as a spokesman comment from the FA has said that the new coach will be announced before the final of the Kings Cup and its a big name and new to Asia.
I don't think Calderon would want to go back to the NT after the disgraceful way they booted him out of the job.
Every one needs money and money needs every one.If he would have been that disappointed than he would not return to KSA for Hilal job.
Ricardo Gomes (Brazilian) is the new coach for Saudi Arabian National Team ... On a 03 Years Contract (if he's lucky to survive another boot from the Saudi FA)
It's already announced on arab news website. Also, on AFC website. Forget the Saudi FA office website as they are never updated on time.
