World Cup 2022: Jurgen Klinsmann to speak to Carlos Queiroz after row

In a series of tweets on Saturday night, Queiroz wrote: “Even not knowing me personally, you question my character with a typical prejudiced judgment of superiority.

“No matter how much I can respect what you did inside the pitch, those remarks about Iran culture, Iran national team and my players are a disgrace to football.”

He invited Klinsmann to the team’s camp to meet the players and learn about the country and its culture and “listen from our players how much they love and respect football”.

The former Manchester United assistant added: “At the same time, we just want to follow with full attention what will be the decision of Fifa regarding your position as a member of the Qatar 2022 technical study group. Because, obviously, we expect you to resign before you visit our camp.”

The technical study group is led by former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and provides analysis on the World Cup to see how the game is progressing.

Iran lost their opening game 6-2 to England before beating Wales, and face the USA in their last group match on Tuesday.

They play at the tournament to the backdrop of anti-government protests at home.

Iran’s players sang their national anthem before Friday’s World Cup game against Wales after not doing so before their opener against England.

Earlier in the tournament, Queiroz criticised Iran fans for not supporting the team in their 6-2 loss to England.

He also confronted a BBC journalist at a news conference before the Wales game asking why England manager Gareth Southgate does not face the same level of questioning on political matters as he does.
