De Iraakse voetbalbond (IFA) maakte op maandag 15 juli 2024 bekend dat het contract van Casas is be\u00ebindigd wegens een \u201cfundamentele schending\u201d van de voorwaarden.<\/p>\n<p>Het besluit kwam als een verrassing en be\u00ebindigde de ambtstermijn van Casas slechts weken voordat het team aan zijn laatste ronde van de kwalificaties voor het FIFA WK 2026 zou beginnen. Onder zijn leiding had Irak veelbelovende prestaties geleverd, waaronder het winnen van de Golfbeker 2023 en het verkrijgen van een sterke positie in de tweede ronde van de WK-kwalificatie.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens de offici\u00eble verklaring van de IFA draait de schending om het niet verkrijgen van voorafgaande schriftelijke toestemming van Casas voor externe commerci\u00eble en media-activiteiten. De bond verklaarde meerdere schriftelijke waarschuwingen naar de coach te hebben gestuurd, die niet werden opgevolgd, waardoor er \u201cgeen andere optie\u201d overbleef dan de overeenkomst te be\u00ebindigen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDe Iraakse voetbalbond bevestigt dat het contract met bondscoach Jes\u00fas Casas is be\u00ebindigd wegens een fundamentele schending van de contractvoorwaarden,\u201d aldus de verklaring. Het werd duidelijk gemaakt dat de schending niet verband hield met de technische prestaties van de coach of de resultaten van het team.<\/p>\n<p>Casas, die eind 2022 de leiding nam, zou volgens berichten een contractverlenging en salarisverhoging hebben gezocht na de successen van het team. De onderhandelingen liepen echter vast. De IFA benadrukte dat al haar beslissingen werden genomen \u201cin overeenstemming met de wet en het contract,\u201d met als doel haar rechten te beschermen en professionele normen te handhaven.<\/p>\n<p>De zoektocht naar een vervanger is nu urgent, aangezien Irak zijn volgende WK-kwalificatiewedstrijd tegen Oman heeft gepland op 5 september 2024. De nieuwe coach heeft beperkte tijd om de selectie voor te bereiden op de cruciale reeks van acht wedstrijden in de derde ronde, waarin ze strijden tegen Japan, Australi\u00eb, Saoedi-Arabi\u00eb, Bahrein, China en Indonesi\u00eb voor een plek in de eindronde van 2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iraq&#8217;s national football team is searching for a new head coach after the sudden departure of Spaniard Jes\u00fas Casas.
