Persepolis was to reach an agreement with Klaus Toppmoller, but couldn’t resolve financial issues. The German had traveled to Tehran and negotiated with the officials.
Floro, who coached Real Madrid during 1992 to 1994, is the newest Persepolis choice to head the team. The team’s officials have also talked with Croat Luka Peruzovic.
Floro will travel to Tehran within the next two days to negotiate with Persepolis’ officials.
The 57-year-old coach has also coached Spain’s Albacete, Sporting Gijon, Villarreal and Ecuadorian Barcelona.
