Skocic was replaced by Ivica Olic in Croatia U-21 football team last week.
The 56-year-old coach is familiar with Iran’s football since he has previously worked as the head coach of Malavan, Foolad, Khooneh be Khooneh, and Sanat Naft football teams.
Skocic was appointed as Iran’s coach in 2020 as Belgian coach Marc Wilmots’ replacement and managed to take Team Melli to the 2022 World Cup.
Shortly afterwards, he was replaced by Carlos Queiroz, but the Portuguese failed to book a place in the World Cup’s next round.
Tractor football team has not won Iran league’s title so far and looks forward to bringing an end to its title drought in Iran Professional League (IPL).
