Documents were confiscated, and officials were interrogated to uncover suspicions of manipulation and illegal influence in the coach selection process, especially in light of criticisms regarding the lack of transparency in the decision-making process and allegations of interference by senior officials. This came after the team failed to advance beyond the group stage, with an unexpected exit, raising questions about the integrity of the process and potential favoritism.
