Ehsan Usoulli, the spokesperson for  FFIRI, reacted to the malicious rumors being pushed by agitators about the impending dismissal of Dragan Skocic and the reinstatement of Carlos Queiroz instead before the start of FIFA World Cup 2022.

At first, Usouli said ” Rumors are created from time to time. Before we can respond, those who tweeted yesterday should comment on the motive for these tweets and what source they used to claim such.

He continued ” I appeared on TV on Wednesday morning on the TV Show “the end of Alvand” and talked about the national team. I don’t know what happened within 24 hours. Thursday is a day off and things do not happen with that process. After that, some individuals made a series of tweets that raised concern, and subsequently, some fans perhaps believed it. ”
Usouli explained the process regarding the head coaches of the national teams, including the head coach of the senior Team Melli. “any decision in that regard is the sole responsibility and authority of the Football Federation’s Board of Directors. The Board acts according to certain mechanisms and standards set by the technical committee in order to reach such decisions. So far, no decision has been made to change the Head Coach and negotiate with any other candidate. But the important thing for us is the issue of the national team unity and getting good results with a strong representation.”

“There are different views in this regard, some are technical observations while others are just emotional. ” The spokesperson of the Football Federation said: “This interpretation of my words I have mentioned is not correct. The door has always been open to updating facts and information. The door is open to all views.”
In response to the pressure of the Football Federation to dismiss Skocic, Usoulli said “Technical opinions and views about Team  Melli is a right that belongs to all people. After all, the Ministry of Sports is not irrelevant, they have opinions, and meetings are held between us. The tips, concerns, and considerations of the Sports Ministry are heard by the head of the federation and the technical committee. These comments will be sent to the board of directors and we will address them. Finally, the technical department of the ministry has its views, but the decision is made by the football federation; Do not hesitate or doubt that fact!”

” We cannot stop the comment or prevent the spread of rumors. We cannot say that we do not listen to anyone either. We need to hear different points of view!” The member of the board of the Football Federation stated that following any match and after addressing the result and performance, the Football Federation analyzes and studies the shortfalls and the positive sides too. Instead of grabbing my collar, grab the collar of the great man who tweeted! and ask him where he got his information from. This man has nothing to do with the FFIRI”

Usouli , who was talking to “Varzezgah” program, continued: “If mass media and social networks want to act in the interest of the national team, they should align with the interests of Team Melli, rather than spreading malicious rumors every morning and creating a crisis of confidence  .” From yesterday morning until last night, we were discussing and questioning what these events are.
In the end, the spokesperson of the Federation of Football Federation emphasized: There is no decision to change the head coach. No conversation has taken place. Not Branko, not Ali Daei, Nekonam, and not Ki Rosh. We haven’t reached a conclusion about the change so that a name can be mentioned.
