Mohajeri was named Shams Azar coach in October as Saeid Daghighi’s replacement but failed to meet the expectations.

Under his leadership, Shams Azar sits 15th in the 2024-24 Iran Professional League (IPL)’s 16-team table.

Former Esteghlal Khuzestan coach Sirous Pourmousavi and ex-Havadar coach Mehdi Rahmati are shortlisted to lead the Qazvin-based football club.

Shams Azar is scheduled to play Esteghlal on January 20 in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.
