Carlos Queiroz has stepped down as Iran's national football team coach after the country were knocked out of the FIFA World Cup group stages.
The Portuguese quit after Iran failed to progress into the knockout stage of the World Cup, failing to win even a single match, reports Xinhua.
"I've shown my commitment to this project, but I haven't received any new contract offer" from Iran, Queiroz was quoted as by Tehran Times daily Saturday.
"It's been an honour for me to work for Iran, I've fallen in love with the country. But you can't have a marriage when only one side wants to commit," he said, adding that "I waited for them to make an offer, but I haven't received anything."
The Iranian team opened their campaign with a draw against Nigeria in Group F but lost to Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
