Tehran Times - Former Persepolis and Team Melli player has been appointed as assistant coach of Dragan Skocic in Iran national football team on Tuesday.
Ex-Team Melli midfielder Bagheri, who announced his retirement from national duty in a friendly match against Brazil in 2007, is a strong candidate to assist Dragan Skocic in Iran national football team.
Bagheri started his coaching career in Persepolis in 2012 and has played a key role in the team’s successes in the recent years.
As Branko Ivankovic’s assistant, he helped Persepolis win three titles in Iran Professional League, one Hazfi Cup and three Super Cups during a three-year period.
Iran will have four must-win matches in late March and early June in the 2022 World Cup qualification.
