Too late, too few. HSV should have rewarded Mahdavikia loyality (or at least Iranian players) earlier and better. C-Youth team?! Why not offering to become the gardener?

Hopefully he will do a good job, and maybe/hopefully he will be moved up in the ranks. Better that he starts with the easy tasks, so he won't disappoint if he started at higher level.

On another note; does he have a coaching license?

Not that impressive unfortunately

[shayan_esteghlali]

Wat happens with kia fc?

Guys I'm sorry to break it to you but Germany is not Iran where they would hand over their A team to someone who just retired. They actually have a system over there. In Iran unfortunately everyone wants to become a head coach as soon as they retire and they would not accept a job unless it's Team Melli, PP or SS.

i agree it will take you like 10 years, to become the head coach of a big team

Within a year of retiring from the game Beckenbauer was West Germany's national team coach.

I said Germany not West Germany lol I didn't know that to be honest but I'm not sure if they've done that recently in the past 10-15 years.

because he doesnt have the appropriate coaching license for higher teams such as B team or A team.
Its a very good start, cause during this tenor he can (and he will) do his Bundesliga B license, and then on A, and afterwards the "DFB Pro-License / Fussballehrer" (which is the highest coaching and instructing license offered by german Federation).

Without this C youth team tenor, Kia could never do a B license, since the DFB requires work experience at C youth level or lower senior league levels before they can get a B license, afterwards he can move up to being a co-assistant at a B team for example, or headcoach at a lower league club to get the A license.
Exactly what Hashemian was doing for years till he got a 6 months interim at Bayern A team under Pep Guardiola to set him on his way to hopefully get his DFB Pro License.

Its a long process to get a coaching license in countries like Germany, Italy, Netherlands etc...., hence also the difference of quality between Western European Coachings and Asian coaches...lol

Within a year of retiring from the game Beckenbauer was West Germany's national team coach.

He was never called "Coach" because he never had a coaching license. Instead they called him "Teamchef" with Bertie Vogts as his right hand and as the "Coach", who was a proper DFB Fussballlehrer (DFB Pro License).

In Germany, if the head of the team does not have a coaching license, he will never be called coach and MUST have a right hand with the highest DFB license, otherwise he will not be allowed to lead the team!

But non-German speaking media and some non-German journalists, who didnt know the difference, just called Beckenbauer the Nationalcoach. However, in Germany, they always called him "Teamchef" for the reasons explained above.

They made Beckenbauer "Teamchef" for being the most decorated German player of all time, who actually understood a lot more about tactics than some of the qualified German coaches of that time. Very exceptional.

and unlikely for Mr. Mahdavikia to have this priviledge.

[PersianLegion]

GN had the talent, he learned a lot from watching some European teams training from behind the fence and implemented those tactics on Esteghlal. Mahdavikia can do the same.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

to be fair GN did an interim coaching training at Bayer Leverkusen under Christoph Daum. I think it was in end 90ies or early 00's.
