The Legacy
Jalal Talebi took charge of Iran ahead of the 1998 World Cup. The squad relied on a talented core, featuring Hamid Estili and Mehdi Mahdavikia in midfield. Ali Daei led the attacking line, while Karim Bagheri provided defensive stability from deep. Iran faced the United States in the group stage, earning a 2-1 victory in Lyon. This remains the most significant result for the national team at a major tournament. Though they finished third in Group F, the players earned praise for their tactical discipline against Yugoslavia, Germany, and the United States.
