ArieHaan, who is set to step down as head coach of China's men's football team after the team was knocked out of the 2006 World Cup finals said the failure was partly due to the country's scandal-plagued professional league.
Haan hesitated to comment on his work with the CFA and but he did express pride over his two-year tenure, particularly this year.
Haan, blamed for his stubbornness, also said on Friday that it would be too harsh for him to take the full responsibility.
Without a doubt the timely arrival of Dutch legend, ArieHaan as the head coach for Persepolis FC of Tehran is breaths of fresh air not only for the club itself, but also the Iranian football in general.
In my opinion ArieHaan has to be given the task of building this team from the ground up and looking for a squadron of young and vibrant talents who can be bring back glory and magnificence to Persepolis and the national team in few years!
Haan's contract expired as the result of his failure to lead the China national l team qualifying for Football World Cup 2006).
