Farhad Majidi Expects to Win ACL Title As A Coach

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Esteghlal football team head coach Farhad Majidi said he is the only Iranian player who has won the AFC Champions League and expects to win it again as a coach.

The Iranian team fought hard to earn a vital 1-0 win against Iraq’s Al-Shorta in its final 2021 AFC Champions League Group C tie on Friday.

“We expected this scenario before the match. The weather affected the players and there was also fatigue. The result was not so comfortable for us during the match and it put more pressure on us," said Majidi.

“We tried our best to conserve energy throughout the match so that the players wouldn’t get tired.

“This group was the toughest in the competition and Al-Shorta would have advanced to the next stage if it was in another group. I’m probably the only Iranian player to have won the AFC Champions League, so I look forward to winning it again as a coach,” he added.
