Lions of Mesopotamia
goal.comからです。ジーコ氏がイラク代表監督を退任しました。原因はイラクサッカー協会との契約不履行だそうです。Lions of Mesopotamiaはイラク代表の呼称です。以前先輩がイングランド代表やオーストラリア代表の呼称について取り上げておられましたが、各代表に呼称があるのですね。(EnDough)
Zico resigns from Iraq post over breach of contract
The Brazil legend has led his charges to the final round of World Cup qualifying, but has endured mixed fortunes after picking up wins from just half of his games
Iraq coach Zico has announced his resignation over an alleged breach of contract.
The former Brazil captain lasted just over a year in the position, winning eight out of 19 matches at the helm of the Lions of Mesopotamia.
"I would like to announce via this website that at noon on Tuesday I sent a communication to Fifa and to the Iraq Football Association declaring that I consider my contract to be void due to the IFA's failure to honour the terms of my contract," Zico wrote on his official Twitter account. "I will provide further details shortly."
