Moussa Coulibaly joins Sepahan

Tehran Times – ISFAHAN, Esteghlal Khuzestan defender Moussa Coulibaly has signed a two-year contract with Sepahan on Sunday.

Coulibaly moves to Isfahani club just three days after Abdollah Veisi accepted to be the head coach of Sepahan.

The 23-year old Malian, who joined Esteghlal Khuzestan in 2013 from Djoliba, scored four goals in 67 appearances for the Ahvaz-based football team.

Veisi, who led Esteghlal Khuzestan to 2015-16 Iran Professional League season title, is trying to build a strong squad for Sepahan in the next season.

He did the same for Esteghlal Khuzestan as they narrowly escaped relegation last season but finished top in this season. Esteghlal Khuzestan dubbed the Iranian Leicester City who won the English Premier League this season for the first time in history.

Sepahan had a poor performance in the Iran Professional League and finished in 11th place.
