According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, the officials of Esteghlal club held talks with Alexander Nouri, the Iranian-German coach, in the past few days, but the dispute over the contract figure ruled out the presence of this coach in Tehran.
To accept the offer, Nouri requested an amount that was not accepted by Esteghlal managers because they believed that the amount offered by the coach did not match his resume. If Nouri withdraws from his position on the amount of the contract, negotiations may resume, but this is very unlikely to happen.
Esteghlal managers are negotiating with several other foreign options to select a new head coach as soon as possible.
