Bijan Moghanloo Named Iran Taekwondo Head Coach
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Bijan Moghanloo was named as new head coach of Iran’s men’s taekwondo national team.
He returned to the national team after six years. Moghanloo stepped down as head coach of Iran following poor performance in the 2016 WTF World Team Championships.
Under guidance of Moghanloo, the Iranian team lost to South Korea and Turkey in the event, which was held at the Sarhadchi Sports Olympic Center in Azerbaijan’s capital.
The Iranian team, as a powerhouse in the world, had also shown a pretty poor performance in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio as well.
Minoo Maddah was also named as head coach of Iran’s women’s team.
