What motivated you to take this challenge? Do you believe your previous coaching experiences have prepared you for it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Paes:<\/b> I always felt that taking over as the head coach of an elite volleyball nation was the next logical step in my career. The challenge of qualifying for the Olympics is part of our job while coaching at this level and I see it as an amazing opportunity and a privilege to take part in his journey. My past experiences in France, Japan and Brazil and the many challenges I faced under Bernardo\u2019s leadership made me who I am as a coach and helped shape me as a professional. I believe that all these international experiences will contribute to my choices and decisions.<\/p>\n<p><b>VW: Your main mission with Iran is qualifying the team for the Olympics and get them to their third-straight Olympic appearance. The scenario is not very promising now, so what makes you believe that this goal can be achieved?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Paes<\/b>: The current ranking situation definitely doesn\u2019t help us and it\u2019s going to be a tough road, filled with daily battles and small victories, but I know the potential of Iranian volleyball. This a country that is the reigning U21 world champion and took silver in the U19 age group. That shows that the potential is there and that if we can combine the players who have been performing at a high level in the top European leagues with the most experienced ones, we can build a very strong squad. That\u2019s why I believe we can do it. The main challenge will be to make the team react and play together, united by the same goal, so we can connect with the entire country and have them by our side too. At the end of the day, qualifying will be the outcome of our daily work towards that goal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/irivf\/status\/1762774596439216371?s=46&amp;t=N4H_cGszEC6GgGqUBxpNkg\">https:\/\/x.com\/irivf\/status\/1762774596439216371?s=46&amp;t=N4H_cGszEC6GgGqUBxpNkg<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>VW: The VNL Preliminary Phase is the last opportunity for Iran to earn World Ranking points and hopefully qualify for Paris 2024. Because of that, you will probably have to prioritize short-term results over a long-term process of building and developing the team. With the team needing to immediately get results, what\u2019s going to be your approach? Do you think that taking care of the mentality and motivation is the most important thing now or do you believe there\u2019s time for tactical and technical adjustments to be made?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Paes<\/b>: The VNL is the last opportunity for Iran, but not only for us. We won\u2019t have a lot of time to prepare, but that\u2019s going to be a challenge every one is going to face. I believe that the matches against the highest-ranked national teams that are already qualified can have a lot of weight in determining who are going to take the last spots and that could be affected by the timing of those encounters. The mental side is always going to be pivotal for teams fighting for an Olympic berth, and even more with just a few weeks of preparation. We know Iran can play very aggressively and that\u2019s typically a positive, but we\u2019ll need to find a balance between that fighting spirit and being more controlled from an emotional standpoint. We don\u2019t have enough time for deep changes and will try to focus on what\u2019s essential.<\/p>\n<p><b>VW: Looking at the VNL calendar, the opening week, in Rio, seems critical as you are going to face four direct opponents in the race for Paris \u2013 Serbia, Italy, Cuba and Argentina \u2013 who all rank above Iran, giving your team the opportunity to add points while seeing their opponents drop some as well. Do you plan on, somehow, prioritizing that first week? What\u2019s the key to be able to start the tournament performing at a high level?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Paes:<\/b> We\u2019re very aware of how important the first week of the VNL will be. We see Serbia and Cuba as direct opponents, while Italy and Argentina not so much as they\u2019re ranked a little higher, but they\u2019re still looking to qualify and will certainly have their top players available that week, which will make the matches very difficult. We know we need to start strong and will need to have that in mind when we start preparing, especially from a physical standpoint. We\u2019ll need to play simply, but effectively.<\/p>\n<p><b>VW: What are your plans to prepare for the VNL? When will the team start training? Do you plan on having training camps or play friendly matches abroad?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Paes:<\/b> We want to start as early as we can, with the first players coming in on April 22. We expect to have the entire roster available on April 30. We\u2019re currently working on getting training camps and friendly matches ahead of each VNL round and I\u2019m currently in talks with Bernardo so he can help for the first week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C30NzYGuZ99\/?igsh=OHdscDR1MHNoNW9v\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C30NzYGuZ99\/?igsh=OHdscDR1MHNoNW9v<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>VW: What are your thoughts on the players currently available for the Iranian national team? Did you ever coach any of the players in the clubs you worked for? Do you plan on bringing back any of the veterans who left the team in the last few years?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Paes:<\/b> I\u2019ve coached against several Iranian players, but never got to work with them. I think we have players with great potential, amazing physical tools and solid international experience. We also have some more veteran players who currently feature for top teams in Europe, competing in the CEV Champions League, and their presence will be essential for us to have a talented and consistent team. We understand the players will get to us at different technical and physical levels, so we\u2019ll try and work individually with them at the start, especially from a physical standpoint. We haven\u2019t finalized the roster yet, but we want to count on anyone who\u2019s motivated and committed to help.<\/p>\n<p><b>VW: Iran have had some remarkable victories over many of the top national teams in the world, but are yet to make it to the podium of a major international tournament, even if they showed the potential to do it. You\u2019re obviously joining the program now, but what do you think is missing for them to take this next step?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Paes:<\/b> I believe that despite the quality of the players and the national team, Iran is a relatively young country among the elite of international volleyball and the process of consolidation takes time and a lot of work with the younger players. I think they\u2019ve continued to evolve since the start, but we need to set the process in a way that it starts with the Youth team and continues with the Senior squad. The last decade was also very competitive in men\u2019s international volleyball and that might have been a factor for their lack of medals too.<\/p>\n<p><em><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-125523\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-580x326.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-860x484.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-1160x653.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-500x281.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-800x450.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-1280x720.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-1320x743.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/avyoasrtfpfg2ywz9d8n-600x338.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Paes worked as an assistant under Bernardinho with France in 2021 (Photo: Iranian Volleyball Federation)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>VW: You spent a lot of your career and your life in France.
