Yahya Golmohammadi is working as the head coach in Duhok, Iraq, and while the Iranian Football Federation is seeking to appoint a new head coach for the U23 team, he has been mentioned as one of the main candidates. This comes at a time when the poor performance of Iran's U23 team in the Asian Games and the dismissal of Hossein Abdi have created a wave of concern among fans and football officials in the country.
Current Situation of Golmohammadi in Duhok
After several media reports about Golmohammadi's termination of cooperation with Duhok due to unsatisfactory results, Jassim Haji, the manager of the Duhok team, recently announced that Golmohammadi still has a contract with the club and there is no clause in his contract that allows him to leave the team without management's consent. Golmohammadi will continue to work with Duhok until the end of the current season, and the club is also considering extending his contract for another season.

The Duhok team recently recorded its first defeat for the championship contender, Al-Zawraa, with a 3-0 victory, helping them gather 12 points and place seventh in the 20-team Iraqi football league. This result has brought new hopes for the Duhok team and Golmohammadi.
Challenges of the U23 Team and Golmohammadi's Future
Meanwhile, the situation of Iran's U23 team remains uncertain. Although the Iranian Football Federation is looking to attract Golmohammadi as the new head coach of this team, the selection of a new head coach has still been delayed. With the 2028 Olympic Games approaching, the U23 team of Iran must introduce its new coaching staff as soon as possible to move out of this uncertainty.
While various countries are planning for a strong presence in the qualifying competitions, Iran seems to be lagging behind in this regard. Golmohammadi, who is a main candidate on the table of the Football Federation, continues to face many challenges both in Duhok and at the national level.
Despite initial negotiations between the Iranian Football Federation and Golmohammadi, the managers of Duhok seem to be looking to retain this head coach for the next season. This situation could lead to significant changes in the future of Iranian football, especially if Golmohammadi decides to accept the offer from the Iranian Football Federation.
