Iraqi FA sacked the NT manager

After Iraq lost to Qatar, they were eliminated from the World Cup race. This resulted in sacking of Adnan Hamad - Manager of the Year 2004 award winner in Iraq. The days of Hamad's team are now gone and a new team is going to be built on the basis of the reigning continental champions. The whole team is now disbanded and the FA withdrew Iraq from the WAFF Championship. The goal of that is better preparation to the 2009 Gulf Cup and Confederations Cup.
