Iraq Reviews Coach After World Cup Loss

The Iraqi Football Association announced the renewal of the contract of the head coach of the "Lions of Mesopotamia," Graham Arnold, for an additional seven months, so he will continue to lead the national team through upcoming competitions such as the Gulf Cup and the Asian Cup. The decision was made despite Iraq's elimination in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, with the aim of establishing technical stability ahead of the next two tournaments. The contract was initially signed in Baghdad, with penalty clauses that protect the rights of both parties, though the financial details were not disclosed. A formal signing ceremony is expected to take place soon.
