Abdolkazem Taleghani, a member of the federation's ruling committee, told IRNA that the federation president, Mehdi Taj, has had "good negotiations with Queiroz, and if they bear fruit his contract as head coach of the national team will be extended until 2019."
Such an extension would keep Queiroz in place at least until the end of the Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates next January.
