Iranian Coach Khosrowyar Heartbroken by Persepolis Defeat
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Former Iranian women’s national football team coach Katayoun Khosrowyar is heartbroken with Persepolis’ loss in the 2020 AFC Champions League final.
Persepolis failed to win the ACL title for the first time ever after losing to South Korean team Ulsan Hyundai 2-1 in Doha’s Al-Janoub Stadium.
“My heart always breaks when I see the injustice towards Iranian football (soccer) teams. I’ve experienced this way too many times as a player and coach. We have to fight 10 times harder for everything,” Khosrowyar published on her Twitter account.
“Saturday was a bad day for Iran soccer. Persepolis lost in the final because they gave away two penalties and women’s national team is out of the FIFA ranking. We were doing so well but losing to ourselves. Time to go back and get to business,” she added.
