The Federation's Response to Rumors
However, some football fans believed that Golmohammadi had joined the Iranian Football Federation to lead the senior national team and would replace Amir Ghalenooi if the national team failed in the Asian Cup. These rumors spread widely in the media, but the Football Federation responded clearly to these rumors by releasing an official report.
In this report, Golmohammadi is introduced as a highly successful head coach, and it is emphasized that his selection for the national U-23 team was made with the positive opinion of Amir Ghalenooi, the head coach of the senior national team. The report also mentions that there is positive interaction and synergy between these two coaches, and both aim for the success of Iranian football.
Amir Mahdi Alavi, the spokesman for the federation, emphasized in an interview that the four-year plan of the head coach of the senior national team and Yahya Golmohammadi's contract with the national U-23 team are two independent missions. According to him, the Iranian Football Federation has no intention of replacing Amir Ghalenooi with Yahya Golmohammadi, and these rumors are absolutely unfounded.
It seems that with Golmohammadi at the helm of the national U-23 team's coaching staff, young Iranian footballers can achieve a significant leap and participate in international competitions with greater confidence. This change in the coaching staff could be seen as a new opportunity for young Iranian footballers and guide them towards achieving larger goals.
