Tehran Times - Ex-Iran midfielder Hamid Estili has been nominated to take charge of Naft Tehran.

Estili is mostly remembered for his memorable goal and goal celebration against the U.S. at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

He has already coached Steel Azin, Persepolis and Rah Ahan football teams.

Former Foolad coach Dragan Skocic also is a candidate to coach the Tehran-based football team.
