Tasnim - Former Iranian midfielder Hamid Alidoosti is reportedly one of a list of candidates to take charge at Iran Under-17 football team.

Alidoosti has been out of work since getting dismissed by Paykan in 2011.

Under tutelage of Mostafa Ghanbarpour, the Iranian football team lost to North Korea 4-2 in a penalty shootout in September and failed to book a place in the FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015.

Alidoosti played for the Iranian club Homa FC for most of his career, and also appeared with FSV Salmrohr in Germany.

He was a member of the Iran national football team in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
