Hordes of reporters and photographers were waiting in the Football Federation HQ at Seoul street awaiting the arrival of the Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz for the signing ceremony which was delayed several times until today , Tuesday.

Carlos Queiroz did not turn up.

The reporters and media men disappointedly started leaving the building at 15:30 without any statement from Kaffashian or the FFIRI. 

 Speculation is rife that the point of disagreement between Kaffashian and Queiroz is the financial compensation package if and when either of the two parties decides to terminate the contract.

Queiroz demands that , if FFIRI decides to terminate Queiroz contract after the Asian Cup 2015, he should be awarded 12 months’ salary in compensation, while FFIRI will only commit to 2 months on top of his service.

Similar compensation package difference has also been mention with the two parties unable to reach conclusion.

With the nonexistence of any official statement , it very much looks like it is the end of Querioz era in Iran.
