Tasnim - Rasoul Khatibi has been named as Iran's Tractor Sazi football club head coach.

Khatibi replaced Portuguese Toni Oliveira in Tractor Sazi.

The development came as the Iranian football club had earlier announced it has reached an agreement with former Iraq football coach Vladimir Petrovic.

“This is a club with history and prestige and I am honored to have been given the opportunity to be its head coach. I’ve joined Tractor on a three years deal. We will start our trainings from June 15. I want to make the fans happy and proud,” Khatibi told Tractor Sazi’s official website.

Tractor Sazi will feature Iran in the AFC Champions League in the upcoming season.
