İsmail Kartal No Longer Persepolis Coach
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – İsmail Kartal parted ways with Iran’s Persepolis football club.
According to media reports, the Turkish coach will not be returning to Tehran due to family reasons.
There are also rumors linking him with a potential move to the Saudi club Al Nassr.

Possible candidates to replace Kartal include China national team head coach Branko Ivanković and Foolad’s Yahya Golmohammadi.
