I was totally shocked when they announced that they sacked him.. I met the whole team in Dubai when they came for training on December.. I trained with them and Play a friendly match against them... He was such a generous man..
As a player coach he brought them very close to promoting to IPL for the 1st time. They missed out on goal difference, but that was by far the club's best finish in a decade (3rd place). The season after Khatibi left, they finished 14th and were relegated to 2nd division!
He promoted Gostaresh to IPL for the 1st time in their history! The next year under him, they moved as high as 6th place in the IPL for some weeks - the highest position they have ever reached!
Tractor spent 8 consecutive weeks on top of the IPL table under him and 15 out of 19 weeks in the top 3! That was BY FAR, the club's best record - the previous record was leading the table for 2 weeks.
What do u guys think?
