Tony Oliveira likely to coach Iran’s Tractor Sazi
Tasnim – TABRIZ, Tony Oliveira is close to being appointed as Iran’s Tractor Sazi’s coach in less than nine months.
The 68-year-old Portuguese has returned to Iran for the third stint.
Oliveira will replace Rasoul Khatibi, who was sacked in the wake of last Friday’s humiliating home 3-1 defeat to Padideh in the Iranian Professional League (IPL).
Khatibi was named as the head coach of the Tabriz-based club with an undisclosed three-year contract last June.
The former Hamburger SV striker replaced Oliveira in the team.
Tractor Sazi will feature Iran in the AFC Champions League in the upcoming season.
