The 50-year-old coach was named Naft Masjed Soleyman coach in early September as Mahmoud Fekri’s replacement but parted ways with the club ahead of the 2021-22 Iran Professional League.

Former Padideh coach Mehdi Rahmati is a candidate to take charge of the team.

Naft Masjed Soleyman finished in 13th in the 16-team league last season.
