Eriksson and Milutinovic shortlisted for Reds job

MNA – TEHRAN, Big names Sven Goran Eriksson and Bora Milutinovic are among the candidates shortlisted to take over as coach of Persepolis.

Persepolis general manager said that the Iranian football club is negotiating with the big coaches.

“Persepolis football club is going to sign a big coach. We have negotiated with Sven Goran Eriksson and Bora Milutinovic as well as Mustafa Denizli. We have not reached an agreement with them yet,” Mohammad Ruyanian said on Friday.
 
Persepolis officials have already contacted their former coach Denizli and the source close to the club claimed the 61-year-old Turk will likely join the team.
 
Sven Goran Eriksson has been sacked by Leicester City in late October in the wake of poor results and at the moments does not have a duty.
 
Bora Milutinovic, the only football coach who led five different teams at five FIFA World Cups, is also shortlisted to take charge of Persepolis.
