TEHRANTIMES - The 58-year-old coach replaced Mehdi Tartar in the Doroud-based football team last week but he announced on Sunday he will not work in Gahar due to plenty of the team’s problems.

“I don’t know what’s going on there. I had come to help them but some people threatened me and I wad forced to leave the team,” Mazloomi said.

The newly-promoted Gahar sits just one place above the Iran professional League relegation zone.

Mazloomi has already worked at Abu Moslem, Saba Battery, Mes of Kerman and Sanat Naft and Iranian giant Esteghlal.

Mazloomi won Iran’s Hazfi Cup with Esteghlal in 2011 after beating Shahin Bushehr in penalty shootout.
