The Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz announced this Wednesday the goodbye of the Iran team, which was eliminated last night from the World Cup, after a defeat against the United States.
On Instagram, the coach wrote that “there are no moral victories in football, but there is also nothing immoral when we don’t achieve our dreams, as long as you have given your best with full will and with a courageous winning mentality.” .

The Iranian team was defeated 1-0 and finished in third place in Group B of the World Cup, a result that despite having eliminated the team, made Queiroz proud.
“They were brilliant on and off the pitch,” added the Portuguese. Iran’s participation in the World Cup was marked by a tone of protest after, in the first match of the group stage, the players did not sing the country’s anthem in solidarity with the demonstrations that the country has been the scene of for many weeks. .
“I think you deserve all the respect to guarantee the credibility of your country and your followers,” he also stressed.
This is how Carlos Queiroz closed his second stage in the Iran national team, after a first between 2011 and 2019.
