Tehran Times - Former Persepolis and Zob Ahan coach Yahya Golmohammadi has been named as new head coach of First Division football team Oxin Alborz.

The 45-year-old coach replaced Firooz Karimi with the aim of helping the team to win promotion to Iran Professional League.

Golmohammadi parted company with Zob Ahan in September after the poor results with the Isfahan-based team.

He has played most of his professional career for Persepolis. Golmohammadi also made 75 appearances for Team Melli and scored five times.

He started his coaching career with Saba in 2008 and has also worked in Tarbyat Yazd, Nassaji Mazandaran, Naft Tehran and Persepolis.
