Basim Qasim bids farewell to Al Zawraa with an emotional message

In a tense and emotional final scene, veteran coach Basem Qassem opened his heart after officially resigning from his position at Al Zawraa, delivering sharp messages and harsh words towards the first-team players, following the resounding and final defeat against Al-Jawlan by three goals to nil and the recent disciplinary and technical turmoil that has plagued the white fortress.

Bassem Qassem's farewell words carried a tone of bitterness as he addressed the Al-Shamal players, fortifying his words with a direct challenge to the Iraqi sports community.

"Greetings to all the players and I wish them success.. I would have liked to give them advice, but I know and am confident that you did not take my advice when I was your coach, so how will it be now that I am outside the coaching staff?".

"To the players: achieve better positive results than those you achieved with me, to prove to the entire sports community that the problem was with the coach!".
