"DOHA, QATAR, FEB. 13: Qatar satellite TV channel has just announced German coach Bernd Stange quitted Iraq “due to warring signals against the country." http://www.middleeastfootball.com/m...e=article&sid=445&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 He was told to get out of Iraq in the next 48 hours by the Germany foreign ministry.
Stange departure was anticipated considering the escalating situation and the clause in his contract that allows him to break the contract in case of war! Never the less, Stange has kept in touch with Iraqi FA and he is due in Baghdad in the next few weeks. I think Stange will make a great coach for Iraq in the future due to his loyalty and dedication to the players and football in Iraq in general.
