HONG KONG, Sept 4 — Iran hopes history will repeat itself at this November's World Cup in Qatar, 24 years after overcoming a fractious build-up to score a memorable triumph over the United States - the country's decades-long geopolitical rival - in France.
Ex-Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz, who was hired by Taj to lead Iran during their World Cup appearances in Brazil in 2014 and in Russia four years ago, is considered a strong candidate to replace Skocic, Iranian sports media have reported. Skocic did not immediately reply to a request for comment, but he said in an Instagram post in July that he had withstood insults and pressure from within Iranian football to prove himself capable of qualifying the country for the World Cup finals.
But Ivic, a league title winner in Yugoslavia, France, Holland, Belgium and Portugal, was axed weeks before the team's departure for France, to be succeeded by Iranian Jalal Talebi.
