PLDC – Former Esteghlal coach Alireza Mansourian has been linked with Zob Ahan hot seat.
Mansourian stepped down as Esteghlal coach in last year’s September following poor results with the Iranian giant.
Mansourian now is a candidate to replace Amir Ghalenoei in Isfahan-based football team.
Under coaching of Ghalenoei, Zob Ahan finished runner-up in the Iran Professional League and advanced to the AFC Champions League Round of 16.
On Tuesday, Zob Ahan failed to book a place in AFC Champions League quarter-final after losing to Esteghlal 3-2 on aggregate.
Iranian media reports suggest that Ghalenoei bade farewell to his players in the locker room.
Ghalenoei will reportedly take charge of Sepahan.
