Tasnim � Iranian national football team's head coach Carlos Queiroz has ruled out joining South Africa football team.

Queiroz, who has already coached the South African team, told EWN Sport that he �can�t see a short-term decision with regards to this possibility�.

�I am not free and without a mutual agreement it is not possible to cancel my contract (with Iran). Maybe in the near future (the opportunity will present itself) if South Africa still trusts my services,� he wrote.

Coach of the Africa Cup of Nations champion Cameroon Hugo Broos looks to be the only name in contention to replace Shakes Mashaba.

That�s after the initial shortlist also included the likes of Roy Hodgson and Stuart Baxter.
