Nassaji suffered a 4-0 loss against Esteghlal on Tuesday and the 40-year-old coach stepped down from his role.

Rahmati replaced Spanish coach Carlos Inarejos in the Ghaemshahr-based team in June.

Rahmati led Aluminum Arak last season.

Under the leadership of the former Iran and Esteghlal goalkeeper, Nassaji failed to book a place in the 2023 AFC Champions League next round.
