The secretary of the shooting federation took back his words; Soltani is not the head coach of the national team!

According to Mehr's reporter, Nasser Rasouli, the secretary of the Shooting Federation, recently announced clearly in an official conversation that Maryam Soltani is present as the head coach of the national pistol team. He also emphasized that the federation will not have a plan to change the composition of the technical staff of the national teams.

But after the publication of this news and the widespread feedback that followed in the media, Rasouli quickly changed his position and announced that Soltani is only the coach of the national team and the role of the head coach has not yet been determined. These new statements have created doubts about the status of the technical staff of the national shooting team.

In this regard, Nasser Rasouli, the secretary of the Shooting Federation, told Mehr reporter: “I had a TV interview, and unfortunately there was a misunderstanding about what was said.” During this conversation, it was mentioned by me that after the end of the Olympic Games and the termination of the contracts of all 3 of our coaches; After holding several meetings and evaluating all issues, the technical committee chose Mr. Hossein Bagheri as the head coach of the national rifle team, Ali Afsari as the head coach of the national flying targets team, and finally Maryam Soltani as the coach of the national pistol team.

In response to the question that you clearly stated that Soltani can be called the head coach of the national pistol team; He explained: No, I announced that he is with the shooters as a coach and leader of the national team! Regarding the possibility of changes, we do not currently have any items on our agenda. The reports that we have received show that the members of the national team have a good relationship with Soltani and the exercises are followed in complete peace. I believe that my words in that conversation have been misrepresented and now I correct that Maryam Soltani is the coach of the national pistol team.

The secretary of the shooting federation, in response to another question, when will the federation announce the head coach of the national pistol team? He said: In the current situation, our national team is spending its training and preparation process well with the coach. In the past years, the team participated in various competitions without a head coach, so the titles of coach or head coach are not very important, what is important is the conditions of the team's preparation, which continues well with the presence of Soltani.

Rasouli continued and in response to the news of not sending national teams to the Slovenian Grand Prix; He said: After it was decided that our national team will participate in the Slovenian Grand Prix, the federation has done the necessary work to send it. We sent all the documents of the team members to get a visa to the Slovenian Embassy in Tehran, but the time that was set was just one week before the start of these competitions, which practically kept our hands closed for sending because on the other hand, the New Year holidays in We had already and the embassy had announced that there is no guarantee for visa issuance.

The secretary of the shooting federation pointed out: We held a meeting with the technical staff of the national teams and it was agreed that they will review the calendar of the competitions and announce to us a plan so that, God willing, either before Nowruz Eid or in the new year, the national teams will participate in other competitions. to send We will try to make the best decision for this issue.
