PTV - The managing director of Tehran's popular soccer team Esteqlal, Ali Fatholahzadeh, has declared that the club is to select a new head coach.

Amir Ghalenoei, Parviz Mazloumi, and Mostafa Denizli are the three choices to replace Firouz Karimi, said Fatholahzadeh on Friday.

Fatholahzadeh pointed out that he would announce the new coach in a few days' time after reviewing the three coaches' programs.
