In a new and exciting development within the corridors of the Iraqi Stars League, the Disciplinary Committee of the Iraqi Football Association issued a strict decision against Duhok's coach Masoud Miral, which involved banning him from accompanying the team for a full 6 months, following unfortunate events witnessed in one of the team's recent matches, which displayed undisciplined behavior from the Swedish coach towards the refereeing staff.

The decision came after a thorough review of the reports from the refereeing crew and observers, who documented public objections and verbal transgressions from the coach towards the match referee, which the Disciplinary Committee considered a direct offense deserving of the maximum penalty. Accordingly, the coach was prohibited from being on the bench or entering the locker rooms or leading the official training sessions of the team until further notice.

The long-term penalty places Duhok's management in a difficult technical reality, especially since the team is performing excellently this season and occupies the seventh position with 51 points and more than 4 postponed matches, which opens the door for them to compete with the top teams if they maintain their level.

As for Miral, the decision represents a severe blow to his journey with the club, especially after reports confirmed his actual departure from the city of Duhok, and angry statements attributed to him by some sources, in which he described the atmosphere as "inappropriate" for work and threatened to leave the country permanently.

Although there has been no official announcement from the club regarding the termination of the coach's contract, all indicators confirm that Miral's journey with Duhok has effectively come to an end, especially with the season nearing its conclusion and the necessity for present technical leadership in the battle for points and postponed matches. Sources close to the management did not rule out the possibility of contracting with a local or foreign replacement coach in the coming days to ensure technical stability.

Masoud Miral's journey with Duhok, which began with great ambitions, seems to be nearing its end, not for technical reasons, but due to unforeseen transgressions. It remains for the management to handle this emergency situation wisely to salvage what can be salvaged from a promising season.
