Masajedi was Julio Velasco’s assistant in Iran volleyball team from 2011 to 2014.
“The last time I came Japan, their coach Masashi Nambu requested me to help them and I advised them in the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea,” Masajedi said.
“I accepted to be coach of Japan since I want to change their style. I’ve worked three years with Velasco and learned so many things from him."
“Now, my job is to find talented players across Japan,” the 38-year-old coach added.
Masajedi was a member of Iran national team in the 1998 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship in Japan.
