AFC - FORMER China coach Bora Milutinovic
is currently in Iran as a guest of the Iranian Golden Ball Awards, presence
that had spurred the local press to link the Serb with the vacant Iran
national job.
It was reported on Persian Football that Milutinovic is on top of the Iran
Football Federation wish list after the national body had failed to agree
terms with Croatian Branko Ivankovic and Antonio Oliveira.
While Milutinovic's experience and achievements in the game are undeniable
after appearing at five consecutive World Cup Finals with five different
sides, it is yet unknown if talks are already underway between the two
relevant parties.
Milutinovic recently turned down an offer to coach Serbia & Montenegro
(former Yugoslavia) and after his appearance in the Middle East, his next
stop will be back in China to attend the Real Madrid friendly game against a
local Chinese selection.
