The 44-year-old has been on the benches of Inter, Udinese, Panathinaikos and Sparta Prague.

He had a very brief, but eventful, spell at Esteghlal from June to December 2019.

Stramaccioni oversaw seven wins, four draws and two defeats, earning him respect and love from the local fans.

The supporters protested when Stramaccioni terminated his contract due to a series of breaches, including payment irregularities and visa issues, Football Italia reported.

Esteghlal directors have reportedly contacted the coach over the last few days to offer a one-year contract with impressive salary.
