Skocic was fired from Iran’s national team.
Skocic was officially dismissed from his position as head coach of the national team.
After Carlos Queiroz’s appointment as the head of the national football team’s coaching staff was finalized, federation officials met with Dragan Skocic last night to inform him of the end of their collaboration. Last night, after Skocic had finished his work, he received a call from Mehdi Mohammad Nabi, the first vice president of the federation. Nabi asked Skocic to come to the federation and attend a meeting. In this meeting, Nabi, who had previously worked with Skocic, informed him of the end of their collaboration. This decision by the federation and the actions taken have caused significant distress for this Croatian coach. He did not hide his displeasure during the meeting with Nabi and expressed his objections to the federation’s decision. According to reports, Queiroz will replace this head coach on the national team’s bench and will soon arrive in Iran.
