Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Former Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz today signed a three-year deal to take charge of the Iran national team.
Queiroz, who has also coached Real Madrid and had two spells as assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, has signed a three-year deal with the Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI).
He replaces Tehran-born US national Afshin Ghotbi, whose contract was not renewed after Iran were knocked out of the 2011 Asian Cup by South Korea.
Queiroz most recently held the post of Portugal boss but left following a 1-0 defeat against Norway in September.
He was also embroiled in controversy when he was banned for six months by the Portuguese Anti-Doping Agency for alleged misbehaviour during an anti-doping testing session before the World Cup - a sanction which was later overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
