AFC Asian Qualifiers - Iraq part ways with Casas

Kuala Lumpur: Jesus Casas has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the Iraq national team.

The Iraq Football Association, in a statement on its social media account, said Jesus' assistants have also vacated their roles.

Casas, who hails from Spain, was in charge since November 2022 and guided Iraq to a Round of 16 finish at the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™.

Iraq are currently third behind Korea Republic and Jordan in Group B of the AFC Asian Qualifiers™ - Road to 26.

With only the top two teams qualifying automatically for next year's global showpiece, Iraq will have to defeat Korea Republic and Jordan in June's concluding fixtures to book their ticket.
