Coaches Queiroz and Iran demand Klinsmann’s resignation from FIFA group

After criticism of gameplay

After his criticism of the Iranian style of play, former national coach Jürgen Klinsmann was severely criticized by Iran’s coach Carlos Queiroz and asked to resign from the technical study group of the world association FIFA. After the 2-0 win against Wales on Friday, Klinsmann accused Iran of playing improperly as an expert on the British TV station “BBC” and said that this “is part of their culture”. Klinsmann had been heavily criticized for this on social media.

On Saturday, Queiroz also spoke up via Instagram and Twitter and criticized Klinsmann’s choice of words. “No matter how much I respect what you did on the field, these comments about Iranian culture, the Iranian national team and my players are a disgrace to football,” wrote the Portuguese coach. He is curious to see what consequences this will have for Klinsmann’s work at FIFA, as he expects Klinsmann’s resignation.

The Iranian association joined this demand on Sunday. He demanded an apology from Klinsmann and asked FIFA for clarification. The Iranian team invited him to their training camp for a lecture “about the thousand-year-old Persian culture and the values ​​​​of football and sport,” the association said. As a former footballer, Klinsmann is not judged on his “famous dramatic diver”.
