IPL: Ilie Stan sacked as Foolad coach

Tasnim – AHVAZ, Romanian coach Ilie Stan was sacked by Foolad football club following poor results in Iran Professional League (IPL).

The 51-year-old coach had replaced Sirous Pourmousavi in the Ahvaz-based football team but failed to meet expectations.

Ex-defender of Foolad Aziz Farisat has been appointed as the team’s interim coach.

Foolad, who has won IPL titles twice, sits 13th in Iran’s 16-team league.

Foolad is scheduled to face Paykan on Friday.
