Iran Football; A New Chance for Foreign Coaches and Players!

What happened?

Pitso Mosimane, former Esteghlal coach, is on the verge of returning to the South African national team's bench. He is the least effective foreign coach in Esteghlal's history, a coach who has no impact, and Esteghlal veterans were not in favor of his presence from the beginning. His short-term presence in Esteghlal had a heavy cost for the blue-clad capital club, and it ended with a compensation of several hundred thousand dollars.

Why it matters for Iran?

Iran Football gives foreign coaches and players a second chance. Is Iran's league a destination for reviving foreign coaches and players? In recent years, we have seen the presence of coaches in Iranian football who have been without a team for a long time or have had a significant distance from their last success, or have not been able to find a place at the level they were active before.

What comes next?

Iran Football may be more of a launching pad than a destination for some. Iran gives foreign coaches and players a chance to get out of stagnation, sit on the bench again, be seen, and add a new line to their resume. Iran Football may be more of a launching pad than a destination for some.
