TEHRAN, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Iran coach Carlos Queiroz said his future depends on the results he will earn at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, Tehran Times daily reported on Saturday.
Queiroz's recent demands for a new four-year contract have been ignored by the Iranian authorities and doubts will remain over his future until the Asian Cup finishes.
"At the moment, I just concentrate on the AFC Asian Cup. We are going to win the title and make the Iranian people happy. My current contract runs until the AFC Asian Cup," he was quoted as saying.
"AFC Asian Cup is a difficult tournament and I think Australia, Japan and South Korea will most likely to qualify for the semis and the remaining teams must fight to advance to final four as the fourth team," he said.
Iran have been drawn in Group D of the tournament along with Yemen, Vietnam and Iraq. They will start the campaign with a match against Yemen on January 7.
Queiroz will look to end the country's 43-year Asian Cup title drought at the prestigious event. Enditem
