TEHRAN (Iran News) – Esteghlal football team has reportedly opened negotiations with Sanat Naft coach Dragan Skocic.

The Iranian club has failed to reach an agreement with Italian coach Andrea Stramaccioni and now is going to sign the Croatian coach, Dragan Skocic.

Skocic has 18-month remaining on his current contract and it’s pretty unlikely that Sanat Naft will let him go.

Esteghlal has also negotiated with an Italian coach.

The Blues sit fifth in the Iran Professional League (IPL) table with 29 points, five points adrift of leader Persepolis.

Esteghlal football club officially announced that it has parted ways with Andrea Stramaccioni.

The Italian coach left Esteghlal on December 8 after the Iranian team failed to transfer his salary due to the USA sanctions.

While the Italian coach received part of his unpaid salary after the representative of an Iranian bank gave him a check at Iran’s Embassy in Rome, he refused to return to Iran to lead Esteghlal.
