Abu Moslem which escaped from the Iran Professional League relegation on Sunday is making effort to sign a contract with a well-known coach in the new IPL season.
“We have negotiated with three candidates so far, but Jean Tigana will be most likely chosen as Abu Moslem coach,” said Hossein Ghasemi.
The French coach has presented his plans to the Mashhad-based club, he added.
The former France midfielder has previously coached Lyon, Monaco, Fulham and Besiktas.
