TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Four coaches have been shortlisted to take charge of Iran’s Persepolis football team.
Branko Ivankovic has reportedly left Persepolis to join Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia.
The 65-year-old Croat has penned a two-year contract with Al-Ahli.
Now, the officials of Persepolis have started their negotiations with their candidates.
Padideh coach Yahya Golmohammadi, former Persepolis captain Mehdi Mahdaviki Kia, ex-Iran and Persepolis coach Afshin Ghotbi and former Iran U-23 coach Zlatko Kranjcar, who also led the team for two months in 2009, are among the candidates to take charge of the team.
