Bakhtiarizadeh on Verge of Becoming Iran’s New U-19 Team Coach
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh is on the verge of being named the new head coach of Iran’s U-19 football team.
He is in waiting room to be confirmed by board of directors of the Iran Football Federation.
Ex-Esteghlal coach Alireza Mansourian was also among the candidates but he didn’t reach an agreement with the football federation.
Iran U-19 football team has been without a coach since Sirous Pourmousavi stepped down from his role in early June.
Iran will participate at the 2020 AFC U-19 Championship in Uzbekistan in October.
The top four teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2021 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Indonesia.
