Mahdavikia, who played for HSV from 1999 to 2007, was selected as the Hamburger SV Team of the Century in October 2012.
“I accepted Hamburg’s offer since I wanted to continue my coaching courses in Europe. I will begin my work from next two weeks,” Mahdavikia said.
Mahdavikia, founder of KIA Football Academy, inspired the U-11 team to second place in Cordial Cup in late May.
