The 44-year-old coach replaced Sirous Pourmousavi in the team.

Pourmousavi was named Naft Masjed Soleyman coach in September but parted ways with the club ahead of the 2021-22 Iran Professional League.

Kamalvand was named as Tractor coach in late July but stepped down from his role after a while.

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