The former Saba Battery coach replaced Hamid Alidousti in the Qazvin-based team.
“I’ve come here to help Paykan stay in the Iran Professional League. I know that football coaches don’t have job security, so I will do my best in the team,” Ziaei said.
Paykan, who is two points above the relegation zone in IPL standing table, will host Saba Battery on Friday.
