Iraqi football president says Graham Arnold will remain national coach

Shafaq News quotes Iraqi Football Association president Younis Mahmoud saying Graham Arnold will remain national coach after Iraq's Gulf Cup group-stage exit.

The claimant is IFA president Younis Mahmoud, whose public comments Shafaq reports. This is one newsroom account of the announced retention decision; no independently verified contract or federation decision document was inspected. No material disagreement was established, and future implementation remains unverified. The exact UTC timestamp is the page's structured publication time, not the Saturday meeting time. The retention decision is distinct from the existing Gulf Cup opening signal; other claims in the interview are not split into separate events.
