Walter Mazzarri Linked with Persepolis
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Italian tactician Walter Mazzarri, who managed Napoli last season but without notable success, has been reportedly shortlisted to replace Juan Carlos Garrido in Persepolis.
The 62-year-old coach boasts of extensive experience across various clubs, including Inter, Torino, Sampdoria, Watford, Cagliari, Livorno, and others.
Mazzarri, who is known for tactical flexibility and ability to organize a solid defense, has been also linked with a move to Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb.
He had been supposed to take charge of Persepolis in summer, but the agreement fell apart at the last moments.
Persepolis has previously been linked with Portuguese Jose Vitor dos Santos Peseiro, French coach Julien Stéphan, former Croatia coach Slaven Bilic, ex-Dortmund trainer Edin Terzic, former Bayern Munich head coach Niko Kovac, ex-Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez, and Foolad coach Yahya Golmohammadi.
