Yahya Golmohammadi, the Iranian head coach, still officially has a contract with Duhok Iraq and has not yet terminated this contract. This issue has gained more significance as his name has recently been mentioned as one of the candidates to lead the Iran senior national team.
Golmohammadi's Name in the National Team Candidate List
Golmohammadi, who was previously a serious candidate for the head coach position of the Iran U-23 team, is now listed alongside other names as a candidate to lead the senior national team. However, his status with Duhok remains unclear, and it seems that his departure from this club is shrouded in ambiguity.

Duhok's Financial Situation and Its Consequences
Recently, Duhok players did not attend team training for three days due to unpaid salaries for the last two months. This strike reflects the club's financial problems, and at the same time, Duhok is scheduled to play in a friendly match today. This situation could influence Golmohammadi's decision to continue or part ways with Duhok.
Golmohammadi has emphasized in conversations with those close to him that an official separation from Duhok has not yet occurred. Therefore, at this moment, his presence among the national team candidates does not mean the end of his collaboration with the Iraqi club, although this possibility is by no means out of the question.
Expectations from Golmohammadi in the National Team
If the Iran Football Federation's offer to Golmohammadi to lead the national team is serious, he will likely terminate his contract with Duhok and take a seat on the national team bench. In the meantime, he must make an important decision; choosing between continuing his work in Iraq or responding to a call that could impact his sporting future.
Ultimately, Golmohammadi's situation reflects the challenges that Iranian coaches face on the international stage. Can he make a decision during this critical period that will not only affect his future but also the future of Iranian football?
