TEHRANTIMES - Persepolis general manager Mohammad Ruyanian said on Sunday that Mustafa Denizli will not return to Iran to take charge of the team.

Denizli parted company with Persepolis at the end of the last season citing some personal problems.

The 62-year-old Turk was appointed as head coach of the Iranian giant team in December 2011 on an 18-month contract but announced his resignation in late June.

The Iranian media have reported that Denizli will return to Persepolis but Ruyanian denied the reports saying the prominent coach is not going to return to Persepolis since his father-in-law is unwell.

Persepolis has appointed Yahya Golmohammadi as interim coach on Friday and it seems he will replace Manuel Jose in the popular Iranian football team.
