PLDC - Tabriz, Rasoul Khatibi, the young head coach of Gostaresh Foolad Tabriz, who has made a name for himself these days for his team's impressive performances against the giant football clubs of Iran, will most likely bid farewell to football due to a decision made by the Football Federation.

Khatibi, who decided to act as a head coach/player in the first appearance of Gostaresh Foolad in the premier competitions, cannot be present on the sideline.

The Football Federation has decided to issue either the coaching card or a players card for him.

Therefore, Khatibi is going to abandon playing and concentrate on coaching.
