Persian Gulf Pro League 2022-23

[taremiscores]

Berdyev is the only one to me who truly has a better CV and has been tested at really high levels.
The rest are honestly the same, just better reputation simply because they're from Portugal.

Good luck to all of them.

Morais has coached at Barnsley, AEK Athens and Al Hilal. All better than PGPL teams.

Been assistant at the best clubs in the world too.

Pinto at Standard Liège, Braga and Moreirense. Far superior bro than the PGPL teams that Skocic managed.

Shows we can get a great world class coach for TM, if our clubs can get decent European ones.

Again, I hope Skocic proves many of us wrong this World Cup and we are all happy. GO TM!

Look at their results though. Especially Morais. For example he was in Al-Hilal for less than a month, and the title was basically guaranteed already.

Berdyev is hardcore though. He plays ugly football but gets alot out of nothing.

I agree, but these three will hopefully help Iranian football forward. Better than the same recycled PGPL managers, who add nothing new or innovative.

It adds more quality to the league. Let's just hope they get paid and this is not CAS cases-in-waiting

Morais won back 2 back league titles in the very competitive K-League, and won manager of the year there. Also won tunisian league in addition to his Assistant roles at Chelsea, Real, Inter, Porto (so he clearly had Mourinho's full trust).

Imo that is a very solid appointment for sepahan.

Sasan Hosseini Foulad U23 moved to Peykan
Last year Mid season Foulad recruited Koushki from Paykan and he did not come cheap but now Paykan recruited Sasan with no transfer fee.

Because of Nekonam preference for older players , some of Foulad younger talents start moving elsewhere,

After Koushki transfer Milad Badragheh moved to Paykan as starter
during last two weeks 2 of best young talents moved to Esteghlal and Paykan,
Moredi U17 player currently with TM U17 moved to Paykan.
Jalali AH Foulad U19 top gun moved last week to Esteghlal Tehran
Who will be next?

Another young and good player of Foulad left
Ahmadreza Jalali (u21) is best LB for his age in Iran .
Foulad signed Saeid Aghaei and extended Heidarieh for LB.

Jalali was member of WCu17 and captain of U19,member of U23 during qualification.
Very good move for him

Portuguese in Persia: Sá Pinto and José Morais head to Iran

Published: Saturday, 25 June 2022 18:38

There will be an intriguing Portuguese derby in Iranian football next season after Ricardo Sá Pinto and José Morais were appointed as managers of Esteghlal and Sepahan respectively this week.

Reigning champions Esteghlal confirmed the appointment of Sá Pinto on Tuesday, just a few weeks after the former international forward left Moreirense. Sepahan, who finished 3rd last term, announced Morais’ arrival on Thursday, with José Mourinho’s former assistant out of work since a brief spell in Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal last year.
“Very proud to join the biggest club in Iran and one of the biggest clubs in the world, Esteghlal FC,” Sá Pinto said on social media after signing a one-year contract. “I know the 40 million Esteghlal fans are passionate, just like me. Can't wait to play at the Azadi Stadium!”





Esteghlal’s huge fanbase is spread across much of the Middle East and the club nicknamed “The Capital Blues” have twice conquered Asian club football in the Champions League. Sá Pinto replaces Farhad Majidi, who left Tehran after winning the league title last term to take over Al-Ittihad Kalba SC in the United Arab Emirates.
Morais’ new club, Sepahan, are also a traditional power in Iranian football, having most recently won the Persian Gulf Pro League in the 2014-15 season. The Isfahan-based side approached Morais earlier this month and the Portuguese insisted on a visit of Sepahan’s facilities before deciding to make the move on a three-year deal, according to a club statement.

The pair certainly bring with them a wealth of experience abroad. Sá Pinto has worked in Serbia, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Poland, Brazil and Turkey, as well as coaching Sporting, Braga, Belenenses and Moreirense in his homeland. Sá Pinto’s only trophy as a manager so far is his Belgian Cup win with Standard Liege in 2017-18.
Morais has enjoyed spells as Mourinho’s assistant at Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea, while his solo ventures have taken him to Germany, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Yemen, Turkey, Greece, England, Ukraine and South Korea, where Morais won the K-League back-to-back with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. The 56-year-old also won trophies in Saudi Arabia, as well as lifting the Tunisian title with Espérance Tunis in 2009.

PGL clubs are busy recruiting expensive players while less attention being paid to good players of Azadeghan league.

Best of Azadeghan defenders last season according to observers.

This is why Daei was great. Always picked a few Azadegan league players and gave them a chance.

Omid moved to Esteghlal
Good move both for him and Esteghlal.

hope he can get regular mins. If new coach keeps 343 he will compete with Niknafs for spot next to Mehdipour (who I think by now is undisputed starter).

If he manages that his age and mobility plus fairly strong technical skills will be attractive for future TM coaches in problem position

[St_Mark]

Success of Esteghlal with young players specially AH Hossinzadeh has attracted other hopeful young member of U23 team to join Esteghlal.
Much like few years ago when Mahdavi kiá success with 13-15 years old and European tours attracted many young talents acroos Iran to join Kia's academy and some of them made it to U17 and U19 teams.

Something Golmo, Nekonam, GN ignore.

Esteghlal is in talk with another DM player from SNA & U23 Mohammad Hossein Zavarei.
