TEHRAN (Iran News) – Vladimir Alekno says that he has turned down an approach from Iran Volleyball Federation.

Media reports suggest that Iran has been linked with the former Russia volleyball team coach because the team has been without a coach since parting ways with Igor Kolakovic in March.

The 53-year-old coach has most recently worked as head coach of Zenit Kazan.

“Iran volleyball federation negotiated with me but my answer is no. I need more time to think about taking charge of the Iran volleyball team,” Alekno said.

In the Olympic Games, Iran has been drawn in Pool A along with Japan, Poland, Italy, Canada, and Venezuela.

Pool B consists of Brazil, USA, Russia, Argentina, France, and Tunisia.
