Anastasi Likely to Replace Raul Lozano as Iran Volleyball Coach
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Head of Iran’s Volleyball Federation Mohammadreza Davarzani said Andrea Anastasi is close to taking charge of the country’s volleyball team.
The Iranian federation has negotiated with Marcelo Mendez, Argentinean coach Sada Cruzeiro, Italian coach Andrea Anastasi and Bulgarian Radostin Stoychev in the last few days.
Mendez is no longer a possibility to be appointed as Iran coach since he wanted to lead a club at the same time.
Davarzani said the negotiation with Andrea Anastasi and Radostin Stoychev are in progress but it seems the Italian has a much better chance since Stoychev is a candidate to be named as Poland coach.
Iran is not going to renew Raul Lozano’s contract. Under guidance of the Argentinean coach, Iran finished in fifth place in the 2016 Olympic Games.
