Loading...TehranTimes – TABRIZ, Tractorsazi sacked its coach Antonio Jose Conceicao Oliveira on Thursday, a day after the Iranian team slumped to a 4-2 defeat at home against Qatar’s El-Jaish.
The debutant Tabriz-based team failed to book a place in the round of 16. In addition, Tractorsazi could not win the title in the domestic league.
On the penultimate day of the Iranian football season, Tractorsazi assistant Hassan Azarnia has been appointed as the team’s interim coach.
The 66-year-old Portuguese coach replaced Amir Ghalenoei, who is currently heading Esteghlal, at the end of the last season.
“With eight days remaining of the season, I am still coach of Tractorsazi and I will not quit,” Oliveira told the Portuguese media.
