PLDC - Sepahan SC are reportedly in talks with German manager Felix Magath for their hot seat.
According to some Iranian news outlets, the sides have already started negotiations.

Meanwhile, Karimi has earlier ruled out the possibility of engaging in a coaching career in Iran.
The recent report comes as Moharram Navidkia resigned as Sepahan's head coach.
A host of Iranian coaches have also been shortlisted for Sepahan but the club seems to prefer a foreign manager.
Sepahan finished the Iranian Pro League in 3rd place with 56 points behind Esteghlal (68) and Persepolis (63).
