A member of FFIRI technical committee and football development, said that he supports  the federation’s decision to extend the contract of Carlos Queiroz . “Of course it is a bit of a complicated issue, that involves Financial situation and technical appraisal but from Technical viewpoint , I agree with the extension” Fereydoon Moeini said in an interview with ISNA.

“During his 3 ½ years with Team Melli , Queiroz has achieved good results and managed to qualify for the world cup. In the Finals , Iran played very good games against powerful nations”

“There has to be a detailed appraisal and analysis of his work , although I think it is positive.”  Moeini said. “Continuation with Queiroz is the best option that the federation can take since we have gained a lot of experience by qualifying for the World Cup “

The technical committee and football development  of FFIRI, has not produced any reports nor conducted a detailed analysis of Queiroz work , yet one of its member publicly declare his support based on technical viewpoint which has not been provided yet.

Moeini was one of the people accused of failure to conduct his duty when Iran was declared a loser after using a suspended player against Iraq in the Olympic Games football tournament qualification game against Iraq. Iran subsequently had a mountain to climb in the return match which it lost and failed to qualify for the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Moeini who was a player in Persepolis , pursued a coaching career after retirement but never managed to  succeed at the top level in Iran. He has been given various duties in the FFIRI structure in the last few years.
