Iraq's football federation has appointed Graham Arnold as the head coach of the national team before crucial World Cup qualifiers against South Korea and Jordan. Arnold, previously the manager of Australia, replaces Jesus Casas after a disappointing loss to Palestine. This change occurs as Iraq aims to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986, with upcoming matches critical for their chances. Arnold's experience includes leading Australia to the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup.
We are delighted to announce Graham Arnold as the new head coach of the Iraq national team, the federation said in a post on Instagram. Welcome to the Lions of Mesopotamia!
That result left the Iraqis in third place in the standings in Group B, four points adrift of leaders South Korea and one behind the Jordanians.
