TEHRAN – Former Persepolis football team head coach Yahya Golmohammadi has been shortlisted to take charge of Tractor.

Tractor parted ways with their Spanish coach Paco Jemez by mutual consent on Monday.  

The Tabriz-based football side have almost missed the chance of winning Iran league for the first time ever.

Tractor will face Nassaji in Matchweek 24 on Friday.  

Jemez, 54, was appointed as Tractor coach in December 2022 but didn’t win a trophy with the club.

Now, the media reports suggest that Golmohammadi is a candidate to replace Jemez.

Golmohammadi led Persepolis to three titles in 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2022–23 as well as a Hazfi Cup last in 2022-2023.

The 53-year-old coach had parted company with Persepolis in January.

With seven weeks remaining, Tractor sit third in the 2023/24 Iran Persian Gulf Pro League (PGPL) with 40 points.
