Iran’s Portuguese manager Carlos Queiroz has announced that he will step down as the manager of Iran following the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The main reason for his resignment is the lack of financial resources on football which is caused by various political restrictions.
"Yes my connection will finish here at the World Cup, there was not support from the government - there has stopped being a genuine interest because of the financial situation. The dialogue has been cut off and I have already decided not to stay.” said the former Real Madrid manager.
