Jesus Candelas , the Spanish Head Coach of Iran’s Futsal team has submitted his resignation to FFIRI , according to Abbas Torabian.

The coach has been away since his winter holiday holidays refusing to return until he is paid his back wages. FFIRI , has promised Candelas that he will be paid only on return back to his job. FFIRI has been procrastinating on regular payment citing difficulties in liquidity at the federation. Candelas was less than sympathetic to such plight and has warned the federation that such situation is becoming intolerable for him.

Finally , Candelas had enough and submitted his resignation by email. The Spanish coach has also reminded FFIRI that unless his financial claims are settled, he will seek legal action.

Torabian who is the head of Futsal development committee, said that the federation is actively looking for a replacement coach and refused to rule out a domestic Iranian coach.” If there is a suitable domestic coach, then we will definitely take it seriously. The coach of our Futsal team does not have to be a foreigner” Torabian added.
