Pourheidari unluckiest coach of season

PLDC - Mansour Pourheidari, head coach of Sanat Naft of Abadan, is having the hardest season of his life facing controversy about himself and his team, repeated losses and the weekly injury of one or two of his key players plus other pressures. Most of the players injured have been defenders, which is why the team has been losing in the past few weeks.

In the practice sessions of yesterday, 11/12/2002, Ali Bakhtiyarizadeh, Sanat Naft defender, received a broken nose when the ball hit him in the face. This has added another victim to the already long list of disabled players. Pourheidari who has almost no one left to defend the goal mouth in the 7th week of League, has asked doctors to use laser therapy to speed up Bakhtiyarizadeh’s recovery.

Davood Seyed Abassi is also unavailable in the 7th week because he has received two yellow cards.
