A coach promises to jump from the tallest building if Iraq qualifies for the World Cup

The Iraqi national team's fans, "The Lions of Mesopotamia", were astonished by the strange statements made by the former coach of the Montenegrin national team, Gelko Petrovic, to the site of the "Iraqi Football Exhibition", in which he promised to jump from a high building, and identified it as the high central bank building, and stipulated that "the Iraqi team qualified for Qatar World Cup 2022.

Iraqis were surprised by the "sarcasm" shown by the coach, especially since he knew that Iraq's qualification would be almost impossible, and this was what the Montenegrin coach wanted to convey, who said that "Iraq does not have the ingredients to reach the World Cup," saying that this is the "complete truth."

The reactions focused on the fact that coach Petrovic did not succeed in achieving any victory during his presence as an assistant coach to the Dutch coach Advocaat, and after taking over the task of the first coach of the national team, especially since he did not improve the leadership of the Lions of Mesopotamia in the matches that he supervised, but the coach returned and issued a statement that some considered "sarcasm". Also, when he said, "I hope from the bottom of my heart that the Iraqi team will qualify."
