TEHRANTIMES - Turkish football team Besiktas is set to bid for Persepolis’s current coach Mustafa Denizli.

The Turkish giant is also interested in signing Brazilian Zico but two sides have not reached an agreement yet in terms of financial issues.

Denizli replaced Hamid Estili in Iran’s Persepolis in December but finished 12th at the standings table of the Iranian league.

Persepolis also was eliminated from AFC Champions League with the 63-year-old after losing to Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia in the knockout stage.
